Seeking Hydro Info . . . and more. [RE-wrenches]

[Ian Woofenden, Home Power]

Hi Baran,

Looks like about 8 KWH per day. Enough to convert you to hydro? ;-)

Give Bob-O Schultze <econnect at snowcrest.net> and Jay Peltz 
<jay at asis.com> a shout. Long commute for both, but maybe they know 
someone closer.
