I am not sure if this was written and motivated by a shorter but it certainly points out some problems that have to be overcome. I live in a area where by business pays electricity based on peak demand. i.e.We pay based on the highest usage of the day.We supposedly get the benefit that the utility has to be able to provide the capacity for this spike 24 hours per day. My way to get even is to run water distillers only after hours, and I could also charge an electric car for free.BRING ONE ON DOWN
