Lil' Paul;
No visions of disconnect. If my own memory serves me, I think you do have it right. It's been years since I looked at alternative energy sources (back while waiting in the gas lines of the late 70's). Have been looking on and off at generators for years, but never acted. I see fuel cells as a candidate solution. But like all decisions, I tend to take my time (shopped for my tractor for 3 years). When GE actually comes out with the MicroGen, I'll have to do a payback analysis at that time. I love to have choices! Then again… Solarex (maker of solar cells) is not far from me (they have a solar-powered manufacturing plant). Maybe I could run a cable a few miles and tap into them. Think they would notice?
