Solar Gird
Friday, July 1st, 2011Why do people keep singing the praises of solar?
Can anyone show me where the average home, is able to remove itself from the gird using solar and do so in an economical way?
If it cost 10’s of thousands of dollars then it’s not worth doing, so why do some keep acting like it’s the cure all? I have even seen people say ‘it will pay for its’ self in 40 or so years’ Big deal, we need the savings now, how many homes do YOU know of that do not need a major roof or other very big repair in just 20 years? But we are supposed to think that these things will last forever?
Your so right about he costs associated with solar power. Its way too expensive for most, especially for what it provides. It may be good for running a transistor radio, or lighting one of those new mercury fangled light bulbs, but overall its just a waste of money.
I say to all the politicians who support this: Unplug your electric power utilities to all government buildings and hack house-holds. Use only solar power to demonstrate the efficiency of going totally green. Lets see if you can run a refrigerator, and an electric light bulb at the same time. I seriously doubt it. If after a year you all still have solar power only, and it works by your own standards, then we shall follow suit.
Finally, give us an financial costs sheet about the effective use of solar power then stand before the American people with a straight face and tell us what you think…
Consider this a challenge to all the hacks, especially Gore, who want us to sign on to the global warming band wagon.
