Art, why do you need electricity to run hot houses in Arkansas? I'm way 
north of you (northern VA, zone 6b), and I grow salads and cooking 
greens and other cold-hardy crops in my 20x48 ft hoophouse right thru 
the winter without any added heat.

Or do you need the electricicy to inflate a double plastic skin on the 
greenhouse? Come to think of it, I do have electricity out there for 
that purpose--to run a small blower for the inflation.
