    Remember Galaxy Girl ???

    I think that her problem was only the excess of arrogance and the lack of humbleness dealing with a learning process. When you do not know squat about a subject that you want to know about, and you attack the issue the way she did here, you don't need to heat up the discussion by offering...

    Genset cost per KW hour
