Dieter, Karel,

Thanks for the information. It seems there might be a light at the end of the tunnel for me. Is there a place where I can get the definitive story - maybe the ECA or ECBSA?

Is this a lucrative career change? I have always believed that these high tech IT-type jobs where people are afraid to get their hands dirty will come and go but the jobs where some manual skills will always be there. People will always need plumbing or electrical stuff repaired.

And I like the idea of saving the planet a little bit as well as love the idea of getting free energy!

Regards
Paul
