Are there any individual regs imposed by the utility companies themselves on a state-by-state basis? I know that some states will offer rebates to homeowners to help offset the cost of the equipment necessary to generate power. Indiana has no such plan...the customer foots the entire bill themselves, making alternative energy sources look pretty expensive when compared against what the utilities charge per kilowatt.

But I do agree that hydroelectric is a good option for those who desire to produce their own power. One of my neighbors uses solar and wind turbines to account for 80% of his electricity consumption. When I asked about the feasibility of going larger and selling power back to the utility, he just grinned and remarked that while it sounded good in theory, the math just didn't work.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
