I'm gathering materials to install a subpanel in my garage. Have 200 amp 
service, don't electric heat, or any really large loads. Nothing bigger 
than a electric clothes dryer or electric oven. Planning  on 100 amp 
breaker in main panel, via 70 feet of 100 amp alum service entrance 
cable to a 100 amp main lug sub panel in the garage.

Won't need too many circuits in garage, but need a 50 amp outlet for my 
MIG, some lighting, some outlets, a heater, and a large air compressor. 
Currently only have a single 30 amp circuit...

Anyway, my question is about grounding - how do I need to ground the sub 
panel? Do I install a grounding rod for the sub panel, or run copper 
ground back to the main panel? possibly both?
