It's doubly ironic when you consider that as a result of a shortfall of 100 units, say, in the public utility sector, a requirement to burn 200 units will expended by individual users in aggregate during outages, because of the relatively poor efficiency they experience as compared to the larger utilities who enjoy many economies. The model is way lop-sided in this regard. If it weren't thus, you'd find a lot more folks burning their own regularly. Some are now beginning to use fuel cell plants of their own, but the danger here is the volatility associated with natural gas prices.

I sit here thinking of so many office buildings that during heat waves are going to have to be self propelled. To me it means i just get more frustrated every day. To realize that we a whole state ended up in this mess due to lack of forsight. This is one of the reasons we invested in Capstone Turbine (CPST) as a private company and hold shares now that it is public. Companies like this have great solutions for the buildings you reference. But like anything, this is just the surface. There are fantastic wealth generating opportunities emerging out of this mess.
