I used to tease my coworkers about living in Texas, where we had modern conveniences like indoor plumbing and electricity. <br /><br />Speaking of plumbing, our town is just now installing a sewer system - and it is powered by electricity at each home. So power outages will also mean no flushing! <br /><br />We have a generator leftover from Hurricane Claudette that we could plug the freezer and a window unit into. Having a fan to sleep under while the power was out was a huge help. <br /><br />People just must remember to never bring the generator itself inside, it must stay outdoors and run an orange power cord from it into the house. <br /><br />Hopefully our legislators will find a way to ignore the EPA and head this off. Maybe some crisis legislation or something.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049681622118832305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-37306998314078140442011-08-21T04:49:28.363-05:002011-08-21T04:49:28.363-05:00Pat, I'm seriously looking at solar. It's...Pat, I'm seriously looking at solar. It's not perfect, but it'll do in a pinch. And, the EPA is pinching the industry hard.<br /><br />I swear, the left is screwing both ends against the middle...demanding MORE of everything, and hindering production of anything.<br /><br />We gotta destroy them for their own good...Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
