Hi there, just a heads up re power consumption.
The Power companies pass on information to police on a regular basis when power consumption increases at a property.
The police also use keys and private information that the power companies hold..
Also
FYI the new Air Force Choppers that fly around on training maneuvers have cameras that can see easily heat signatures and any outdoor crops grown close together emit an electronic signature that is like a beacon to the fly boys..

Oh and its only 70 cents a KWH in Michigan in the winter.

Oh sorry, thought I was replying to another thread about when a buddy got busted. This was in like the early 90's. FLIR was really new and that show COPS would be chasing a criminal on foot with a chopper and they could see the heat from his foot prints on the grass!

This is why its good to have extra "hobbies" as well. in the event that someone ever look at and questioned my power consumption id simply have to inform them "well i have a hot tub, a steam cabinet (a personal sauna), a hydrogen production system, a rife machine, various industrial power tools/machines" they can measure your power but they cant tell what that power is used for.

All a cop has to do is ask me, “ hey are your growing marijuana?” I’ll say “yeah, yeah want some? Come check it out!”. I hate most of the people and the politics, but fuck California can be great sometimes!!!

I worked at power plants so, yeah my lights are always off during peak periods, here super peak is 4pm-9pm. Double price during summer.
