	I forgot to point out in the last message that at least a third of
our electric energy could be generated in this manner before the utility
would have to "generate negative electricity" by other means (ie. shut down
all of its plants and run storage).  Also, electricity is already being
stored on a large scale (pumped Hydro, etc.) and may soon be more so (BEST).

	Note that the power company has to buy your current at avoided cost,
which is the most expensive price it pays for its power.
