Is it always cool to freeze?
Hi, I'm keen on the idea of running a large upright freezer in order to store bulk-bought food and pre-prepared meals. I would not buy a new freezer but find an unwanted secondhand one.

Selling electricity back to the grid?
I've heard that it is possible to have solar power or wind turbines or similar and of at any time you are generating more electricity than you are using, you can sell it back and make money with it? I'm guessing that this is not going to be very frequent on a 3-bed end-terraced estate house, but anyone know anything more?
