Wow Paul,

Nice Tie and shirt.. Very professional.. Do you wear that during an inspection?

Joe , Paul,
So guys are you keeping up with all the "electrical new stories" around the country? Probably too busy..

Major power problems in St. Louis and L.A ... Record power consumption with all this heat and A/C use.. Talk about poor infrastructure, the city POCO was hauled to court one year not to long ago for numerous "equipment" failures..
The number of splices on the power lines must have been at an all time high...

What do you guys (super sparkies) see as a key in reducing power
consumption? If any? Education , Equipment for the consumer.
Wind mill in the yard and solar panel on the roof...

Just a note:
It was mentioned earlier in a post that the panel requires a receptacle near it. That may be a local code, but it is not in the NEC. Panels do not require any receptacles near them, some install the receptacle with a nipple to the panel and the box supporting the receptacle in a basement, as the unfinished basement requires a receptacle, but the location is only used for convenience.
