kitno, yes, i rent the three little cottages out and live in one.i am currently tied to the grid and will not sever the connection, just suppliment my consumpion . i like electric heat ,its's clean and safe and takes up very little floor space. if only it were less expensive. i was hoping to charge the local children money to ride the big wind mill.i am on equal billing so huge winter costs are spread out over the course of the year. there are a lot of charges on my electric bill other than just electrical usage. in effect, i am now paying for the storage of every bit of radio active waste generated since 1950. a central hot water heating system for the various buildings is brobably the best bet for me. i will be digging trenches this summer.there is enough wood stacked up in my yard to heat the entire opperation for a year , and more to come as i have a lot of trees that need work. i have an interest in metal casting and want to build a furnace. i am gathering materials and have a design drawn to create a water jacket on this thing.wood for fuel will be ok for now but is not a long term soution.natural gas runs down my street and i will eventualy hook up but that too is only a short term solution. this year my energy costs will be $5600.oo cdn. dollars . even if energy costs stay the same rate over the next ten years thats like 60 thousand . if energy costs escalate the way i think they will perhaps as much as $100,000.oo
