Not at all. About 1948 or 9 my mother used to put my middle sister out in her baby carriage (with the hood up) in view of the kitchen window to get fresh air. She found that the neighbours' cat liked to get into the carriage and lie on my sister's face. If I recall rightly this was in cool weather.

That is not entirely a "old wives tale". In 80/81 my little brother would have issues when our cat would get into his crib to try and drink his bottle. While it never killed him he did get upset. I can see how a child who is alergic, or if the cat is large, could possibly hurt a infant. Jeromie

Another issue with net metering will be interconnection standards.  Generally if you are connecting a rotating generator to the grid, you will need a level of protective relaying that will be prohibitive for the scale you are talking about -- like $25k or $100k.  Using a grid connected inverter wil
