An interesting story... When I shut off the gas meter, replacing my 
natural gas powered central heater with  a Cast Iron stove/oven,  it 
didn't take  the Gas Company  (Reliant Energy)  here,  in Houston 
very long to detect my 'non-usage'  and  to come  out and  replace
my  'defective'  gas meter... I  showed the gas man, my PV system,
and the Cast Iron stove...and he exhanged the old gas meter with a
new meter... he also tested out  the new meter,  and  there was,  of 
course, no gas usage... in fact,  the gas  is off,  at the meter... This
all happened, last Friday, so I hope I won't hear from them again...
and... if they cut off the  gas... then  I  won't  even  pay  the  $9.80 
monthly line charge...
