    No. Plenty of kits are plug and play up to the point of interconnection. Its frankly impossible to fuck up a power optimizer / micro inverter kit. There is no future reality where you will "unfold" and install a grid-connected multi kW solar array without multiple permits and approvals. You just aren't going to willy-nilly mount 1000 pounds of equipment to your roof and feedback to the grid without both building level and interconnection approval.

    The only story that makes sense to me is that radical Islam is a threat (and a response) to western domination over the middle east since the crumbling of the Ottoman empire. The evidence for toying with and destroying countries and cultures in the area for the past several generations is legion. There is no other rational narrative.

    There are more immediate and long term threats than a bunch of assholes in the desert. For example we shoot ourselves and each other by accident and on purpose about 3,000 times more frequently than we experience casualties due to Islamic terror. In fact mentally unstable people in our own country "terrorize" the population more frequently than radical Islam and yet we oppose basic rules to bar mentally unstable people from gun ownership. We also OD on prescription opiates at similar rates as we shoot each other. It's appalling. We have massive looming fiscal problems due to broken social and military spending programs and commitments. We are now provoking our allies as well as our "enemies", which will irreversibly consume our cultural or "soft" power. We are turning our back on new industries and global challenges that the vast majority of globe are embracing. We are embrace domestic cultural wars at the detriment to solving any of our legitimate problems. Literally we are more focused on ripping our selves apart, tribal nationalistic teeth gnashing above all else. That is the main threat today. Rather fortunate for anyone who opposes US power and influence abroad

    Radical Islam isn't something I have -ever- even considered a threat to myself or future prosperity ... even as I watched our symbols of global economic dominion fall at the hands of extremists. Extremists that were from a country, by the way, that did and does still represent all that is awful about US influence in the region. I don't see arguments in favor of the threat of Islam that are not predicated on fear, propaganda, or more usually a health dosage of both. OP of this thread and consummate right wing partisan doesn't even comprehend basic statistical thinking and this is supposedly a technocrat nerd site. This obsession with radical Islamic terror is not a shining example of American Exceptionalism (C) or even a basic rational threat assessment. We've effectively been trolled into conflicts with people who justify themselves and their power by the conflict. Absurd.

    Yes, this is one of the amazing(ly sad) outcomes. 50 years of basic research and the US then stopped short of growing an industry. Instead let China invest $100b and reap the rewards of what is now a $200b/yr industry on its way to $1T/yr industry with millions of jobs. Seems like a smart investment for a nation state to make. If only ideologues understood the US doesn't exist in a vacuum. The entire world is rallying around new industries and we're about to double down on a dead end. lol. If only I could live to read the history books.

    kits are plentiful, they are limited by regulations. You can't put power into the grid without permission from the utility, which typically has rules set by a governing body (PUC)

  12. polls were within margin of error, they weren't widely out of whack. stop this revisionism. Trump had an outside chance and he squeaked through. It doesn't invalidate any of the polling methodology, if anything it challenges some non statistical assumptions about neglecting to poll some key areas. That's it.

  13. I guess you are jaded since even the fatties won't fuck you. Fat disgusting guys think the same thing. Its almost as if it has nothing to do with feminism, but in fact is a property of humans, most of which are gross and under estimate their grossness. Do you have a mirror handy?

    actually, state mandates for renewable portfolio standards are exactly how this happens. The government says this will be done. Companies required to change, mainly utilities to this point, find a way to make it happen. There is a bunch of wrangling about how to equitable account for the costs, benefits, and sometimes negative consequences. Lawsuits, compromises, wins and losses. Low and behold at the end of the day, everyone is involved in the compromise of a solution and it works. Welcome to functional government, where no one gets what they want, no one hijacks progress, and we continue to blunder forward instead of fighting the future and striving to hold on to a misremembered past.
