It would make sense nowadays to plan for solar energy when building a house. If you must be off grid there are ways to make it work. I'd use propane for heat and cooking though. It's reliable and really nothing beats a gas stove. I really think that a battery breakthrough is just around the corner. If they can get the cost of batteries down then I think Solar will really take off.
You sound like an idiot who can't read. I simply said that going off-grid with solar requires a huge outlay of money that makes it cost prohibitive for most.
Well sure, it's easy and cheap to go off grid if you don't really want all the modern conveniences like a washer, dryer, refrigerator, air conditioning, etc. I could probably do without a lot of things but there are limits. It's still cheaper to buy electricity from the power company that generate and store my own. I see the day coming that will change though as technology marches on.
You sound like some sort of religious fanatic. I'm all for solar and off grid but it's not cost effective yet. It's getting better but there's no way for me to go off grid as that's a huge outlay of money and it'll take many years to recoup the investment. DC appliances cost way more than their AC alternatives. I priced a DC air conditioning system and it was prohibitively expensive. I can see this getting better but we're a decade or maybe two away from solar being more affordable than being on the grid. I plan to start small and build a system a little at a time as I can afford it and it makes sense.
When I was there they said corrosion had destroyed the wind generators. Evidently the people that installed them didn't consider the salt environment when they did the install.
Evidently you failed to understand what I wrote. I don't really give a shit about homosexuals one way or the other. It's really irrelevant to me what they do and with whom (as long as I am not involved). It's about this recent drive to make it seem like it's natural and normal for one man to have sex with another man (or a woman with a woman). It's perversion clear and simple. It's neither natural nor normal. The primary reason for sex is procreation. I know we use it as recreation nowadays but it's primary function is continuation of the species. I fail to see how anyone can argue with that but I guess when something like homosexuality is involved people will do anything to make it seem normal. Why, I don't know since it's okay in today's society to be abnormal. I do not believe that people are born homosexual. It's a ridiculous statement and there is no proof whatsoever to support it.
You really think nature meant for a male to have sex with another male? Or a female with a female? Nature designed sex for procreation and without a male and female you don't have that. I'd say that if a man desires a man either he made a choice or maybe it's a kind of birth defect. Given that rampant homosexuality is a recent phenomenon I'd say either we've had a huge rash of birth defects or either a lot of people decided to dabble in perverted sex. It's a common thing in decadent societies. I'm not really against homosexuality just all the foolish attempts to say it's normal. Anyone can see it's not. I don't care who's dick you suck as long as it is not mine.
When I was in Spain back in 1982 the rule was that roads were made for cars and people had to watch for traffic. No one ever stepped off in front of me while I was there. Never. I think maybe the rule that pedestrians always have the right of way has created a false sense of safety in pedestrians. They get so used to jumping in front of cars that always stop so that when someone isn't paying attention and they jump they get squished. I always wait, even at crosswalks, for traffic to stop before I step out. I've noticed that a lot of pedestrians just stroll out there without even looking up to see what's coming. Most of them actually. Yes, the driver is at fault. That don't make the victim come back to life though.
There is a saying, "You may be right, but you might be dead right." In other words, just because you have the right of way you still need to make sure it's safe. It's your ass you may save.
eDekka's patents had to be seriously deffective to get tossed in East Texas. I doubt seriously that the judge actually wised up but more likely the case was so weak even he couldn't justify it.
You seriously think it's immoral for a US company to sell product to the NSA? An agency that has a duty to protect and defend the US and it's citizens. Never mind it has failed miserably at times doing that duty it is still the agency charged with spying on potential adversaries of the US. The main problem with the NSA is that Congress has failed miserably in their duty to oversee it's activities. The fact that Carly supports these policies of trashing the Bill of Rights is far worse than selling hardware to a government agency.
I don't fault her for selling the servers to the NSA. That's the job of a CEO at a hardware company. I do not like her defense of warrantless wiretapping. It's obviously a violation of the Constitution and her attempts to justify it is a disrespect to that fine document and a free society. It bodes ill for a government with her as guardian of the Constitutional rights of US citizens.
Actually it wouldn't be that expensive to enforce the immigration laws if we concentrated on the demand side. All those employers hiring illegals should be jailed. That would make a serious dent in the demand side of the supply vs demand equation.
Really? Hillary or a Republican? Isn't Bernie Sanders running too? What's your problem with Bernie? Not a big enough liar? Not dirty enough? Poor Bernie, too much integrity to be nominated by the Democrats.
Honestly I don't know why they bother. They should know by now the law doesn't apply to the Clintons. The sooner they accept that the sooner they can move on.
I dislike Bernie Sanders' politics but he seems like a decent, respectable individual. I guess he doesn't stand a chance. If he wont lie or cheat how can he ever get elected President?
Amazing. I almost don't care either, just let all the people who broke the law out of prison. If she's okay they are too. Not murderers and rapists but everyone guilty of a victimless crime. So what if my shotgun was sawn off to 12 inches instead of 18? I'm not good with a ruler anyway.

Money talks. Mostly it's obscenities and profanity.
His daughter is also his wife. I think that's the real problem.
I think they hate you because you're a fucking idiot. The solar has nothing to do with it.

The panels aren't the real expense. It's the controllers and batteries and such. If all you had to buy was the panels I'd already have them all over.
If you have to ask, you can't afford them.

How about when you don't have internet access?

Their rationale for ignoring the 10th is simple. They don't feel anything is beyond the Federal government's power.
They're only unconstitutional if it's the government doing it. For everyone else it's simply illegal.
