  2.  @mugin11223344 The problem is that a balanced future is not at all what the rabid Greens are insisting upon. They want and expect a future completely free of fossil fuels.

  3.  @akitadog01  That’s awesome. There are definitely places where you can lower the price of electricity with solar, like CA, HI, and others, however this is a function of market prices, not costs. Some states have very expensive grid electricity and solar panels are currently subsidized. I’m an engineer in the industry and while I’m a fan of solar and wind in the right place for the right applications, the costs for input, manufacturing, maintenance, disposal, etc. are still higher than fossil fuel generated electricity unless these technologies are deployed in certain areas. For instance solar panel efficiency is a function latitude, altitude, humidity, air particulates, and other factors. Glad to hear you’re saving money.
