Why the hell would anyone want the gec to be white? Where in the code does it say the gec has to be any color? If you tape it white it identifies it is a "grounded" conductor in the system. It is not. If you tape it green it identifies it as "an equipment grounding conductor". It is not either. It is a grounding electrode conductor of which there is no color requirement. What book are these guys working from? It really pisses me off to no end when inspectors try to enforce a "code rule" that is really just a thought in their heads. ARghh! Ok I'm done now.
