Mex, I think you should build a nice central utility office (not that you don't already do that, lol) and start electrifying more of your area down there. I can see you spending your later years teaching a few young guys how to maintain a pequena oficina of telecom batteries.
There was a battery recycling place up here in Minneapolis near the Mississippi river. Some City worker noticed that a drain entering the river didn't look right. Further inspection led back to the recycler that had been pouring acid down the drains for 15 years.
