With the energy conservation going on here, he received a check back from the electric company. He did not pay an electric bill for the entire year (receiving statements with $0.00 balance), after the year was up he investigated the entire situation and the energy company explained how they had been harnessing his energy that he was not using and sending to other places. He told them that they should have asked and that he was going to have his lawyer look into the situation. The energy company sent him a check for the year in the amount of $3,600 dollars. He smiled and realized his investment was a good one. The energy company still draws his left over power and he still gets paid for it, but only once per year do they settle.
