FPE--Federal Pacific lost it's UL rating over 20 years ago--but there are still many around. (The breakers are known not to trip--when they need too--so they just get hot--and start a fire--or someone gets shocked.)

Then they fill up their basements with all this-electrical jerry-rigging-- while their kids are sleeping above or below these rooms--and then wonder--when busted--why they got charged with "child endangerment".LOL.

It is so much better to use a detached shed or other area away from the house -- other than putting an entire family at risk of fire or shock hazzard.

If you're going to grow your own--do it safely.

Where in the article does it say that this was the case with these people? Oh yea, it doesnt.

Funny a guy who calls himself 'rightwinger' has no problem with the govt taking peoples kids over a plant. Scott McInnis could use you on the campaign trail.
