it doesnt take much equipment to make your house run on free elecricity
theres alot of people out there that have their houses set up to generate power, and all the excess gets pumped into the power grid
if they make to much power, the elec co gives them credit for it, if they use power off the grid the elec co just takes it back out of their credits again
i remember hearing something to the effect of nys or erie county not allowing you to run a windmill generator tho, theres a privately owned one sitting in wales or holland, the owners put it up and someone (an official of some sort) told them they arent allowed to use it
at least thats the story …
