saving electricity on the farm

[John T]

It’s not only my professional opinion but based on experience and observation over years as a power engineer schemes to by pass watt hour meters are a loosing and illegal procedure yukkk lol If I recall correctly way back in ee school at Purdue an executive from Duncan electric gave an entire seminar on the design and operation of their watt hour meters and all the ways to detect irregularities. Those guys are experts.

I’ve been a fan of and user of solar power for years even before it was popular. Of course the pure economics and pay back etc. remains an issue I’m not going into now. The use of high efficiency appliances, timed use and solar and wind options are the way to go in my professional opinion to save on energy costs

John T sitting here in my rv with 1500 watts of solar plus lithium batteries making me near self contained unless there’s no sunshine for extended periods. Best wishes to all here happy new year and God bless

Notice ten guys did not step up and say I have one and it's great By the way John T is the most educated guy here and an engineer and if John T does not like them that is all I have to know.

Sorry I will miss you this year if you make it to flywheelers again, minor (I hope) health issues means I won’t be making the trek to Florida after a 17 year run. I enjoyed meeting you and our fun visits and chats over the years. Great minds think alike ???? We agree those gadgets don’t work
