Re: [Fwd: GAS-L: gasifier]

[Peter Singfield <snkm@btl.net>]

Dear Harmon and the rest of this list:

This Url demonstrates very clearly how to sell power to the grid and get
top dollar for it.

http://www.homepower.com/rogues.htm

Make your personal meter run backward -- negate your bill!!

As in run your gasifier power plant a few hours per day -- run the meter
backwards -- then use grid the rest of the time.

Who needs a huge battery pack -- right??

I just love these style solutions -- but suppose Big Brother will soon
close that loop-hole -- right?

Still -- some businesses would do well off running a medium size biomass
wastes gasifier in this manner --- until the hammer comes down on this last
little corner of "free" enterprise.

And Kirk -- at 5 cents per kwh -- don't even bother! Will not pay for the
effort.

Unless you do it for "fun" -- and maybe for some future security of being
power independent -- but I'll bet there is at least a 30 years "ride" of
cheap power ahead of us right now.

Peter Singfield in Belize Central America -- where power costs 18 cents US
per kwh.
