Going GREEN

 

Yesterday, I was at a UT Medical Center facility near my home getting my monthly infusion of IVIG.  While I was there, there was an enormous amount of wind and the power in the facility went out.  Seconds later, the lights came back on because of the back-up generator.

Another client in infusion area asked the question:  Don't generators operate on gasoline?

That got me thinking and since I had already written and posted my Saturday and Sunday articles, I was left with no choice but to schedule this posting for Monday, today.

So, here was what I was thinking about.  There are literally, I would assume, THOUSANDS of medical facilities, many of which are critical care facilities...  and many of which are located in environments where solar energy is not always available.

THEREFORE...  would we not need gasoline powered generators when the power goes out, especially since we may not have access to BATTERIES???

ANYWAY...  how many back-up batteries do we currently have out there that customers have purchased or need to purchase?

I would think that there are some but not that many.  Especially not that many to cover the ENTIRE USA, Alaska, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rice.

STRANGE...  how these GREEN enthusiasts have not mentioned the need to BATTERIES...
