FYI...I have had several emails expressing interest in this discussion.

Some of them are from viewers in Florida who commented that this topic
is revelant to their situation after last year's storms. It would seem
that many were without power for many weeks/months and were living
subsistence energy wise for a long period of time while they were
trying to rebuild their lives and property.

As one person said.." you never realize how much you rely on your power
drill until you don't have the juice to run it".
