"Power Revolution"

"Another example of a "Vision" thing Painesville Leadership has failed us on"

This is a note to me neighbors and friends who have invested in a 50 year contract for electric from a coal fired electric power plant.

Most of you probably have heard of the premium electric automobile maker Tesla. Owned by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Well Mr. Musk has taken the wraps off it's ambitious battery system that can work for homes. A 10 kWH version for $3,500.00 presently excluding installation and inverter.

All this from free solar power system called a power wall a unit about three feet by four feet in size and about six inches thick,

Pipedream? "Our goal here is to change the way the world uses energy at an extreme scale."

The Gigafactory under construction in Nevada as a product, the first of many. With 160 million Powerpacks, we could power the United States, he said and with 2 billion, the world.

Powerwalls has been testing for a year, and has already been on sale to select customers. Tesla will start taking orders later this year and then really ramp up production as Tesla's battery building goes online.

Will this happen overnight? I don't believe so but it will be a normal operation by the time we go into a third Presidential election cycle. (12 years) and remember how color television got cheaper along with flat-screen TV's? I expect the same from solar panels and power walls.

Now the question what will we do with the  thirty year's left at Prairie State?  Don't forget we are also responsibility for the plant closures and the miles of coal ash.

Maybe we will own two power plant museum's, Painesville Muni, Prairie State.

Hey, Mr. Musk we have a battery-box building here, cheap! Also some windmill's somewhere!
