I work for a power company and I have looked into this stuff and there is no way in hell they would knowingly allow you let alone pay you for your power.
Some of the assumptions are based on a very little bit of research on google. As an example one website said a typical car battery stores around 100 amp hours so I used that number. Some of the assumptions aren't based on fact at all. Specifically numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 on my list are there as a way to keep the calculations simple. Wherever I decided to do this I made it as favorable as possible for the consumer just to see what kind of number it gave.

Realistically numbers 1 and 2 are the smaller assumptions. Number 8 is pure fantasy and number 9 may as well be. If someone actually had to pay for them it would run around $35,000 just for the batteries (at $50 per). I didn't even consider ancillary issues like where the hell do you safely store 14 tons of batteries (figuring 40lbs each) primarily made of lead and acid that also happens to vent a flammable gas (hydrogen).

I've actually seen a technician do that. It was a 200ft cord that he managed to run a good deal distance to where he needed it and back to plug it into itself. It was hilarious.

We used to routinely have people plug both ethernet cables from a IP phone into the wall jacks; how to take an entire network stack down in 10 seconds, flat.
