Gas Supplies (again)

[iaaems]

The Feed In Tariff is ok as far as it goes. I have a neighbour who has committed himself to this arrangement and he seemed happy with the whole thing until there was a power cut and he was cut off just like everyone else. His panels were producing energy that he could not use. Upon investigation he found out that with some extra wiring and some control gadgets he could get round this problem and guarantee his supply during daylight hours - however the cost apparently was prohibitive in his case.
The point I was trying to make was "explore the possibilities available for off grid energy conversion and storage". This I should have made more obvious perhaps. To have each dwelling independent of any supply grid 247 would seem to be a logical step to take - not an easy one I agree and I have no doubt that certain folks who like to think they run everything around here would disagree wholeheartedly. I am not too concerned about what they might think.
