1) It will reduce my quality of life if I am forced to subsidize some stupid shared battery scheme. So that 10 years from now we can fret about our dependence on imported lithium or whatever. The scheme is unworkable on so many levels it's not even worth commenting on, but the main thing is that it would be a complete reworking of a system based on immature technology which will certainly go obsolete. EVs with onboard backup are a much better way to utilize alternative energy for transportation.
2) Eliminate? when? at what cost?
3) Dream on. This is just silly. A complete change to EVs will make the grid more reliable? ha ha ha ha. Yup you really really really really get it! I fact you GROK it my man!
4) whose money?
5) give me a break.
sadly, you have been brainwashed. Now the idea might work great for a flat, warm, densely populated area where everyone drives a toyota, like Israel(?), but not where I live and not with my money.
I must be doing something wrong - when I try to search I can only search one city at a time. I live in a sparsely populated state with a half dozen regions, and I'd like to search them all when I'm looking for something. I can't see how to do that, short of elaborate google queries, which reduces craiglist to an idle-time waster vs. a real tool to find something, for me.
Except prices are falling. You haven't accepted that. Others have. "They" will try to inflate, but your own post admits they will fail for (perhaps) 5 years. Telling people to buy stuff now is simply bad advice.
Unfortunately face to face communication with government assures only those with nothing better to do and happening to live in a capital city actually communicate with government. The op's idea is valid and essential. It's not hubris to think that logical communication does not need to be face to face. In fact, just the opposite is true. It is hubris to think that good-looking socialites should rule us. Fuck you.
No offense, but if you understood things correctly, you would point out that rating a solar panel in amp hours is retarded. If I was politically correct, I wouldn't use the word retarded, but the fact remains that even the tiniest power source, given enough time, could produce any number of amp-hours. Perhaps they mean amp hours per day, who knows. Thus, a meaningful rating would be in amps or watts.

Actually, lots of people considered it years ago, and it has been addressed in the way listed equipment is made, thus costing the utilities nothing. But thanks for the four paragraphs of complete ignorance!
re the first photo, "Close up of one of the panels on the Durham University Solar Car. The coating on this particular panel looked like it had shattered, giving it a pattern of cracks similar to broken glass."
Um, that's why the race is *2400 Miles* long. You don't win due to a random 30 second event. By your logic they should set up a dynamometer and a giant light bulb...
It works like this - when you get sick of listening to good music, you turn it off and listen to ads until the traffic report comes on, then you turn that off and go back to the good music.
-> solar isn't critical, and won't be for (at least) 10 years, probably more, current technology is not good enough. It does NOT work.
It is for me, you insensitive clod, unless you want to send me $80,000 or so to pay the utility to come to my house. In fact make it $200,000 to cover the hassle of dealing with them and my future electric bills.
"there is a significant number of them with this mentality, that I observer, that are preventing us from doing things...like drilling for our own oil off the coast of CA and FL."
Yes, they are called the majority. Annoying, aren't they?
Have you ever actually seen a grid tied PV system? The current and past output is visible on a digital readout on all the inverters on the market today. There are no moving parts (except sometimes a muffin fan). The vast majority of people will look at it and can do the math and conclude that it has a lot of value. The vast majority of people will not object to the panels' appearance. Your advice might be good for something like solar thermal - needs maintenance, output not visible, panels are typically not very attractive and sometimes the appearance is worse with age. But PV should definitely hold some significant value. Your citing of "extra complexity..." indicates you aren't very familiar with grid tied PV systems. They are no more complex than a Playstation or LCD TV.
One thing I noticed is that everyone structures their themes differently as far as where they put stuff in the file structure. It really shouldn't be that way.
I found it easy to switch a site over while keeping old urls. Overall it did what I wanted and I like the flexible hierarchy of pages. It's definitely feasible to have unskilled people work on the content now.
If this will be the only site you will ever do, it's hard to say if it's worth it. You could just use Dreamweaver or Frontpage I suppose.

Could be. All stocks have the same amount "left to lose" though, if the company doesn't survive. Oh right that could never happen.

The manufacturer says 75%:

Also they say 2500 cycles and 15 year life. Which is fairly unexciting in the battery world.
Thanks for your concern. You're right of course I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I thought driving away from an accident was illegal.
Seriously, trucks are way safer, if driven slower than I want to drive. That's why I drive a AWD car so I can pass you safely.

ok tom8to, tom4to
That all depends on your definitions of terms. Todays mean would be considered really really rich in another place and time.
Take a look at my cousin. He's broke and he doesn't do shit.
Buying solar panels from out of state comes to mind...

fyi, it is broken glass.

I would be interested to hear about the deaths from solar.
I don't doubt your statistic, just never heard about death from solar power.

If you're ebay, it's easier to scam the sellers.
As a seller, it's not so important to me how easy it is to scam a buyer, because I won't do that.
The problem for me, and the reason I don't use ebay, is the quality of the buyers and ebay's inability or unwillingness to deal with that.
Just because there is a problem with scamming of buyers by sellers, doesn't mean there is not also an issue with bad buyers.
Because AC is easier.
