This amounts to a doubly abusive relationship between Joplin's consumers and Empire stakeholders. None of this is necessary.

 

Complaints of unfair practices by utility companies - extra charges, amounts on the statement consistently not matching actual power used - led the inventor Peter Sumaruck to decide to power his own home.

 

"Peter Sumaruck powers his own home."

 

He first invented his power production system in the late 1980's and has been continually increasing the units' abilities - producing more and more power, and consistently demonstrating he can create electricity for motors, entire buildings and mobile generators using 12kW and 65kW gensets.

 

Pete Sumaruck wants to make a statement about utility company abuse, so in addition to powering his own home, he has developed a new energy infrastructure that will power 1,300 average-sized American homes (each home using up to 200 amps of service), all powered by only one 12kW genset power production system. http://blog.zeroamptech.com/sumarucks-12kw-energy-production-unit-can-now-power-1300-homes

 

Pete creates new, virgin electricity right there on site with only one 12kW unit, and he could also power his neighbor's home as well, up to 1,300 neighborhood homes.

 

Using this new infrastructure concept, typical customer questions might be: "How will the utility know how much power we use? How will they know what to charge us?

 

"You don't need a meter."

As well as being a publicist, I am an artist (primarily a painter), and a writer (one book and 2 screenplays, as well as articles on my website). I am most interested in unusual people, what they have to say and what they do (what you do is not (more...)
