  1. Re:Realistic on The Groups Behind Making Distributed Solar Power Harder To Adopt · · Score: 1

    i expect they used their healthy subsidies to build that network or at least used that as the excuse to be "encouraged" to build it. Its in their own interests to build it because they can get solar power from households at a cheaper rate and sell it expensively to someone else ( and a lot less grief than buying coal/gas to burn )

    if your house was well insulated, you could to use the AC less. the less leaks in a house envelope the better but you'd have to work out some sort of ventilation system that cools air coming in from outside (opposite to the normal heat ventilation recovery systems http://yourhome.honeywell.com/... )

    why do all the detractors expect the new systems to be as close to 100% efficient immediately when fossil fuel power generation like coal power has taken over 100 years to get to the current 30%-40% efficient (with huge amounts of subsidies over the years)

    "the idea that there shouldn't be any fee or cost to selling your power back is about the same as thinking ups or fedex should ship all the stuff I sell on ebay for me at no cost." - do the utilities charge the coal and gas producers for delivering product to their power generating stations? its less effort for them to receive power from premises with solar than ordering coal and gas and burning it. premises with solar are suppliers not consumers (if they create more than they use)

    yes, they should buy it for less and sell for more but why should the supplier pay for any infrastructure?

    no, the hippie ones tend to be in the Green party but every party is united in being against UKip. hippie is not the same as crackpot

    every party certainly does have crackpots but not to the extent of UKip, they have "gay marriage caused the storms" type members, not seen that in any other UK party as yet.

    modding is the ONLY tactic they have left, all the so called "serious" issues raised have been shot to pieces. its now just a tirade of red herrings, lies and personal insults coming from the gutter because they don't like systemd
