Can you imagine the power company coming and cutting our power off? —Dr. Sidney Smith 2012 02 17

Dr. Smith speculated that Georgia Power might try to stop solar installations like the one he just opened in Richmond Hill last Friday.

Our goal is simply to make power available to all people at the lowest rates....

He remarked this was their second installation. The first was at the Driftaway Cafe. They have another planned. A fourth one was supposed to be at a nearby orphanage, but Georgia Power wouldn't allow it.
