Re: Nicaragua machine shops

This whole CA power thing is embarassing to the US. I get the feeling
that other power co's will test the waters in other states and
try the same things.

A friend of mine built a new house outside San Diego several years
ago and need a neighbors permission for right of way for power lines
to be run to his house. The neighbor saw it a moneymaking thing and
ask a really large amount to do it. My friend is an electrical
engineer's engineer and came up with a 10' x 10' solar panel and
backup system. He had to do some power budgeting, but it worked for
him.

He didnt do much machining other than a small mill/drill however.
I think I'd have to go that route if I still lived in
San Diego or CA.
