There's nobody at the box stores that even comes close to having a clue
anymore.

If they were knowledgeable about it they wouldn't be working there earning
$7.50/hr.

After checking out the consumption of my Hatz 4 cylinder Diesel generator a
couple of weeks ago, it would cost me in fuel alone around $AUS 800.00 per
31 day month (about $US 625.00 per month) the current power bill here for 3
months is 600-700 Australian $$ It will be higher this quarter as it has
been hot and the air conditioning units have been on more I will expect it
will be up around $AUS 800.00 for the quarter.
Oil changes, repairs, depreciation and basic cost of the diesel generator
are NOT included in this cost or running the generator, only fuel.

Several new nuclear plants are being proposed right now. I can't
even begin to guess whether they will actually be built, and if so,
whether they will be using newer technology or the hideous old
designs from the 1960's.

Actually, it's been an interesting discussion, with an exception of a few AH's.
The
usual alt.hvac suspects?
