Hey Everyone, I was reading a story that talked about how the electrical companies are looking at a flat rate to help with economic recovery and it got me thinking. I was thinking that for the utility companies can start to help their customers to offset power costs by manufacturing, selling and installing solar panels and water filtration systems in each home. This way the company is directly supporting the economy, creating jobs and new services and as part of the agreement any excess generation can be collected by the company and sold to other nations in need. Alternatively you can coordinate with government facilities and start supplementing their cost of operation to help the nation's infrastructure for those buildings and to ensure that in case of power outage our most important buildings are energy self sufficient.
