There are a number of programs that pay you to install wells/pumps/pipes that are powered by solar. There is even a program/payment for a 1,000 gallon water storage tank. It is around 1,300 bucks in my county and the tank is much cheaper than that. U pocket the difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978111502927595698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-90509058904297495452015-09-02T04:48:56.290-07:002015-09-02T04:48:56.290-07:00I feel for you.

During a severe storm, one of the towers blew over and fell onto the other tower. Power was out for almost a week. Around here, power goes out maybe once per year for no more than a couple hours typically, so an extended outage was a shock for most people. For my part, I just grabbed the camp stove and kept the cell phones and laptop charged with the car chargers. Now, if I had hundreds of pigs, it might be a different story.Bill Gauchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287284061932329662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-47425026096472058062015-09-01T22:08:28.541-07:002015-09-01T22:08:28.541-07:00I keep trying to find a tractor PTO-powered genera...I keep trying to find a tractor PTO-powered generator for the 3-phase or 230v stuff..... maybe there is one up in your neck of the woods?<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092834398158876985noreply@blogger.com
