Electric Shocks Force New York Couple,To Abandon Their Home

It was supposed to be a dream home, but after 25 years of dealing with electrical shocks, Millie Mendelson and her husband Hal are throwing in the towel and calling it quits.When the couple moved into the house in Pound Ridge, New York, they say the electric substation near their 6-acre property wasn't much of a concern. Now, according to the New York Post, the couple believes the substation is leaking electricity into the air, which presents a whole host of issues."There's times I go to my sink and there's a little water on the rim," said Millie Mendelson to the paper. "I might put my arm down on it — whoa!"
Millie wears rubber gloves when she does the dishes, while Hal wears rubber-soled shoes when he's outside. The couple stopped using China New Hand Dryer Suppliers backyard pool long ago, reports WABC.The Mendelsons used to keep animals on the property. Not anymore, though, says Hal, "The animals were going crazy." He told CBS2 the voltage drove their dog to chew the skin off its own legs and they had to put her down.NYSEG installed alarms several years ago to alert the family of dangerous volts, but when they began to sound "50, 60, 70 times a day," the company said they were malfunctioning and removed the system, reports Newsday.After fighting with NYSEG for 15 years, the Mendelsons are moving. They've filed a suit in an attempt to force the company to purchase their $2.7 million home, built in 1760 -- long before the power substation.
In August, GE opened a new battery making plant in New York state. Using technology from a UK company it purchased 5 years ago, it is developing sodium nickel batteries intended to store massive amounts of China High speed hand dryer Offers for electric trains and possibly win the fight for the preferred renewable energy storage method. Nickel based batteries should be far cheaper to produce than the mass storage lithium battery arrays produced by Siemens . If these batteries can be produced cheaply enough they are a shoe-in for an energy storage market that is expected to grow tenfold over the next decade. It's a long shot, but if anyone can pull it off it will be a company with deep pockets for research and development, like GE.General Electric's advances in renewable energy, natural gas infrastructure and transportation will make the next two decades extremely profitable for this blue chip. Furthermore, General Electric is currently paying a regular quarterly dividend rate of 3.15% and there is every indication that this yield will continue to grow. This is a stock that I would recommend building a sizable long position in for a very long term.
