[Andrew Truitt]

Darryl - We use Locus Energy as our third-party, production + demand
monitoring and we've been pretty happy with them.  Not always the easiest
thing to install and make look good but it does work!  A little pricier than
TED though.

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"
