Wrenches - After being unable to log into my favorite NEC research tool, I just found this on the Mike Holt Forum:
"NFPA has decided to stop offering NECPlus yearly subscriptions, because the 2014 NEC will not be going into NECPlus. The last day of access to NECPlus will be on February 28, 2014. There will be no subscription replacement product, however there will be an enhanced eBook product for the 2014 NEC - with changes (from the 2011 NEC) identified. This will be a one-time purchase product (not a subscription). The 2014 NEC enhanced eBook will provide our customers with more mobility (via use on tablets and smartphones) and it will include features such as bookmarking, user notes, and highlighting options. *"NEC Connect"* is our new online resource and community for all things related to the National Electrical Code. Learn about the latest in electrical safety, wiring, guidelines, and equipment, along with upcoming electrical code updates, tips and the latest social updates from the NFPA. NEC Connect is your one-stop shop for residential and industrial electrical safety, whether you are an installer, designer, inspector or policy maker. Join fellow contractors and engineers, and sample the latest video content, articles and more from industry experts." Does anyone have any experience with this eBook? RIP NECPlus. FYI, though the NFPA never really advertised it they did develop a PV-specific NEC app product called PV-NEC <http://pvnec.org>. It contains inspection and installation checklists (Based on NABCEP and Bill Brooks documentation), lookup table tools, a project management function, and 2 versions each of the 2008 and 2011 NEC - a full version and a PV-specific version. They were going to roll it out at SPI 2013 but changed their mind. They were also going to update it to 2014 but unfortunately changed their mind on that as well...

It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!" ~William McDonough
