im not arguing your idea or point.. I agree with it.. Ive been talking solar to my buddies for a while now.. I know a few people with backspin on the meter it's a trip to see...

thats ideal.. and will make the tree huggers happy.. only problem is tree huggers don't have 20k lying around for a good solar system..

now an idea would be to have the gov supply solar unit's to everyone rather than EBT to crack heads...
It costs as much as a big screen and the amount of your electric bill is currently each month and that may include a buy back. You pay it out over 5 years, and you own it when you are down. It increase the value of your home and gives you several state and federal tax breaks. You can also get buy backs and credits from the electric company, depending on the city, enough to power pools, hot tubs, plant rooms, ect.

The technology is also getting cheaper and getting much more advanced. Using live organisms that produce use the sun to produce massive amounts of energy using very little surface space.

So don't buy into the BS, it may be a little more expensive now, but if we invest time, money, and focus into tons of alternate solutions now, we never know what will be produced or how cheap it will be.

Or we can know what the future holds, and that is more expensive energy costs for everyone, and that's a fact nobody can talk down. Going out to hunt and drill for Oil now will not produce Oil tomorrow, next week or next year and it will never replace what we consume.

We should just focus totally on new technology, new resources, all money, tax cuts, everything. Make it the wild wild west of a new free market, think of how much money we could all make.
