America is at her most bautiful when she promotes these sustainable technologies. When science and technology brush shoulders with big buck investment, costs come down, reliability goes up. Everyone benefits. Where America leads, the rest of the world will follow.

Nice! I’m installing a large PV solar array on my home. I’m posting a web site that documents the install. I you want to check it out, it’s at:

I so very very rarely give 5 stars. But, as simple as this presentation is, it’s powerful and simple to understand.

5 stars awarded.

Shoot, I can get a used deep cycle motorhome battery for 20 bucks. If I bought 10 of them. About how much power would I have to work with on typical evening after the sun went down?

I would only use Solar Panels as a backup power source. I think “dirty oil coal” is more efficient for the time being!

I don’t think these green alternatives are that efficient. I would only use them if they were just as reliable as their “polluting” yet more reliable counterparts.

Another corporation advert. ! What we really want is to get rid of all of them. For they are the culprids of mess. We have to be independent what energy is concerned. Solar , wind in small units, home made and to all afordable. The tecnology for long range batteries has been there for ages now. See all nasa aplications! As usual the industry works under the need of cyclical consumption the more it breaks the more we buy. So we have to find the way out and the key word is: Improvise !

Sorry for the extreme delay in answering. You can find out this by reading your meter before dusk and reading it again right after daybreak.

And that is a good idea with the battery thing. I will be looking into that.

I heard a guy named Doug Rye who does a home efficiency show on 102.9 radio in LR Ark on Sat am. He said if you put $ 56,000 worth of solar equipment on your house it would lower your electric bill $32/mo. $32 freekin bucks ! woopty freekin doo. AND windmills can’t just be turning they have to go a minimum RPM before generating any power. HELLO ! WAKE UP NERDS
