And so there is a alternative energy program. % Does anyone know the local payback-for-watts policies? The deal that I get is that I get paid retail for every watt I produce and feed back into the grid until I meet my own needs completely. When I pass zero and am a net generator of energy, I get paid whole sale up to a limit. I am only getting 10-20% of my energy from the system, so I am unlikely to have a month where I am net zero, unless I turn off all the computers in the middle of summer. % On 4/12/06, John Sechrest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: % > % > % > % > Bob Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: % > % > % (Before anyone jumps down my throat, yes, I know there are Severe % > % Safety Implications to hooking up generators to grid-connected % > % circuits.
