Re:"We were without electricity 10 straight days in sub-freezing weather this year. The county I'm in had 40,000 people out for a week or more. And we got through it." You really are ignorant. Incredible !! California folks living in the Sierra Mountains know that they will regularly loose power for days at a time in the winter with its snow and ice. That is is a fact of life living among 200 foot tall trees -- that the logging companies can not cut, although Bush is working on the cutting part. They buy electric generators -- gas or more often propane powered -- that kick in when the power goes off. I can provide you with some links and technical advice if you need help.
