I live in a 12 volt world. What do I need a National Grid for? Oh yeah. By the way. Great Britain owns our "National Grid". Seems a tad hypocritical , what? Laptop=12 volts. LED lighting = 5 volts, Downloading music and movies = free.( try Qbittorent) Linux operating system= FREE. Heat with dead wood from forest= FREE. Hi tech meets Neanderthal man. Woman=FREE (must be able to cook, sew, and clean fish) I go now, and laugh with my woman. Deep cycle , baby.

OK, Walt Disney did a book called "The Big Big Wind" with Mickey Mouse. I'm sure the pro wind people have read it. Where else would they get the idea? Yup, it's an appropriate name in this case referring to the "Mickey Mouse" technology. Rube Goldberg would be envious he didn't think of it. Anyway, I hope the LOSERS get back to doing their chores. You know, figuring out how they're going to deliver on their promises to those foreigners. Maybe take some time and actually read what they signed.
