Jim and Gerald J:

Back in my high school physics days I had all that amps/watts/volts
stuff down, but that was a long time ago.  I'm still not sure why you
can't do all the calculations in watts but I think it has something to
do with flow, which would be the time component that is missing in the
watts.  You're certainly right that the first thing is to minimize
usage.  I and all the other California residents have gotten that
message drummed in over the last few weeks.  It's intriguing that so
many resources exist for minimizing usage, alternative sources, etc.,
and we just blithely ignore them (overall as a society).  It seems we
can't get away forever with our wasteful consumption, and that's
probably a good thing in the end.  Anyway thanks again for the
connections.  Do either of you have a url or phone number for Home Power
Magazine?
