I heard today on the "Paul Harvey" radio program that there are
many large corporations that are planning to remove themselves
from the "grid". They are establishing their own power supplies,
possibly to evade the millenium bug. Something has to have
them worried.
Imagine the effects of something that happened in New Zealand,
were it to happen to every major city in the U.S.!

> 1) Dis-associate water to produce hydroxyl (hydrogen and oxygen),
> 2) burn hydroxyl gases to produce heat
> 3) heat water to produce steam
> 4) steam feeds a turbine, preferably Tesla turbine for high efficiency
> 5) turbine turns a generator
> 6) generator runs a house or small business OR
> 7) recharges battery networks that provide power

> Solar powered Stirling engine to trickle charge a battery network.
> Minto wonderwheel geared up to trickle charge a battery network.
> Wind, water, solar to trickle charge a battery network.
> Heat pump to provide rotation that turns a generator to feed batteries.

> All these are off the shelf or require building.
