JW, do you find the woodgas unit that much hassle to operate? If built from scratch could one be made for minimal trouble. I'm moving down below, so dry wood would be a possibility. I have other people interested also, and not looking for freebees. Consulting is a legit trade.
I have also found for about 10K (in Australia) a functioning steam engine, boiler and generator that would keep batteries charged. Plus Shipping.
I think the 5$ gal price will replace the 3$ spell we just came out of.
I belive that Ormat would be willing to up their production for minimum cost to us, Which could eliminate most of the fuel that Helco charges us for.
