[Vwdiesel] Fw: Power Generation --- ( electrical )

[Shirley, Mark R]

I think his main beef is that they won't let him generate any power
without being
connected to the grid.  That law sucks by the way.  I can't stand when
bureaucrats 
tell you what you can and can't do on your bought and paid for property
that you still
have to rent from the tax man.
