I just looked at your picture. Wow, that is alot of electric heat. Ellen would never even let use florant bulbs for growing. I bet the bill is high. I used electric heat to try and clean up the cold garage. 6 hours, about $7.oo. Two like that can buy lunch.

For fun, I figured out the bill for 12 hours using a generator.
deisel = About $100 for 12 hours. $200 for 24 hours. Gas would be more. I am looking into solur cells and batteries. My friend the doc in wis. Had a wind mill installed, the batteies were open cell and the acid smell went through the house. The wife make him take them out. Today the cells are sealed.

I hear the toyota prius can be retrofitted with a solur cell and give 100 mpg. I can't find nothing on it on the computer. CAn any of you? Is Mike rhe teck still with us? culater
