beigle...Far from "...[letting us] down..." I think you have done much to encourage the troops.
Your last paragraph reveals again, I think, the wisdom of the warranty deal, i.e., the reluctance to accept new technology.
There has been a glowing example of the "siting of projects" issue here in northern MN & WI. A huge project to build a high voltage line from n. MN to south-central WI has met loads of resistance along the way, and has been stalled in NW WI exactly for this reason. The MN portion has been completed already and, I must say, that I oppose the line. It is the most God-awful ugly thing, and it has destroyed many beautiful views around here. In the end, it will probably get pushed through to completion but it will be at a terrible cost to everyone in its path.
I have been in and out of CTC several times and have done very well with the stock (I had to sell last Fri. to pay some bills......Grrrrrr....), but someday soon I will be back in to stay, as I think they have many solutions to what we're seeing up here.
I wish, ultimately, that people would take greater measures to reduce their need for electricity.
Thanks for the great report.
