As a native Delawarean I can say to the geopolitically challenged environmentalist-globalist reader, if you have to choose between visiting a huge methane hot spot and visiting delaware, go for Delaware! "The state that is often used in size comparisons of relatively small areas"
Reading articles like this really makes me ambivalent about getting solar. I've been tossing around the idea for a few months. My main concerns are the following:
1. Am I truly helping the environment with solar panels? Being that I'm only producing a few hours a day and storage isn't really a part of the grid, does it really truly help? I highly doubt they (who I assume is some 18th century irish immigrant) shovel 10 less scoops of coal into the plant because I have panels. If my objective is altruistic, would signing up for a green energy provider like Veridian help more in the long run?
2. Am I going to get screwed over by future regulations and price changes that will make the projections the very nice saleswoman gave me for RIO change? I already know my energy provider is going to increase their base rate by over 100% in the next year (to about $20).
Thoughts?
