to which I said that must be some crappy solar panels. According to that, to power one house would cost 200,000...for my parents they have put in about 5000 in the 15 years they have lived in this house and never paid an electric bill.

I apologize I read what you wrote wrong. I congratulate them on doing it so cheaply. But as you know this is government we're talking about here. Spending tax dollars and giving friends contracts doesn't equal cheap or being on a family budget. Jimmy-3's is a great example of that.. He won't mention the costs and says it was all free.. Free to the college maybe but my guess is tax dollars paid for it. And as he admitted the energy produced is sold to the power company and then sold to the consumer. We all know that government is going to want their cut. In addition once they start noticing they aren't receiving their cut off of all this "free energy" down the road they'll come in and say you have to pay taxes on your use of the sun. They are already doing it to farmers who are using rain barrels.
