Alternative Energy
The latest hurrican to hit Floriday resulted in power outages for some areas that lasted for days and weeks. Yet a number of families in the affected communities were able to survive with all their appliances running.
While those around them suffered the families that were untouched by the lack of power were those who had invested in alternative energy sources. With power outages expected to affect south east Queensland jsut about any time a storm sweeps through the region it’s surprising that not more home owners here are looking for ways to cut the dependence on a creaking electricity grid.
In Sydney there are some who even turn their excess power back into the grid and so earn credits but here in sunny Hervey Bay it seems that no one is interested.
