The power companies around here seem pretty anti-grid tie. I have BD

"I had an interesting opportunity to go see some research and I checked this quote, and it's word for word. Went off about it to my office mate, who simple exclaimed "He's talking about for the /rest/ of us" Whaddya mean? I ranted, "folks have been doing this for years!" he replied simply "When did you 'get on the internet' and when did most folks 'get on the internet'?, maybe that's what he's talking about." It's an interesting take, I think. Perhaps the prez /is/ talking about grid-tie "for the rest of us" as in a national electrical code standard for the interface, power company approved, across the board, etc etc. Not the horror of on-again, off-again support like what the folks under the dubious umbrella of Water and Power have been putting up with.
