Local solar companies advertising a rebate of 5000 dollars from the state and the cost of solar and its installation is absolutley free, tag line from lou grant “its a no brainer” Which really means dont use your head because you will know its a scam. This scam has come and gone and we all saw what it was really intended to do, pay back zipperheads friends for supporting him, billions of our tax dollars given out and the GOP slept, Im more angry with them than with the criminals who did this
The only thing I would ever consider solar for is my own personal supplemental heat and I would probably build it myself.
Two words: Zomrworks Tracker.
Look, the GOP certainly has its problems, but in all honesty I don't see what they could have done. The country - and particularly the news media - was literally in a love-struck swoon over Obama during pretty much his entire first term. It could well be argued that that's still the case, although a few cracks are beginning to show.
I don't think there was a thing anyone could have done. The "green jobs" scams - Solyndra and the like - were well known, and none of the blame went anywhere near Obama. He was completely untouched and unfazed by any of it.
I got a junk call a couple weeks ago from some solar installation company. I told the young dingleberry that I wasn’t interested. She kept prattling on about all the wonders of solar. I kept saying I wasn’t interested (normally I hang up on them after first screaming obscenities), but this kook was kind of fun. Her final pitch is “All your neighbors are getting tax breaks because they installed solar. You should get your tax credits, too, before they expire.” Unfortunately, she hung up before my stream of invective got revved up.
You got that right: I installed my panels 200 feet from my house. Panels installed on roofs can cause roof leaks, make
it super expensive to repair a roof and are architecturally
disturbing to a home’s appearance.
A Republican site and authoress demanding more regulations. That’s no surprise. Most voices in politics are those of anti-competition socialists. Built-up, over-regulated Florida and users of subsidies are also poor examples.
No-vote. There are many, who want to be more independent instead of relying so much on government-linked, anti-competition businesses for necessities.
That’s interesting about trackers. I reckon they’re better for your climate. Up here, there are around 300 sun days and much extreme cold. We don’t need the trackers (also frequent high winds), but very sturdy mounts and MPPT controllers are a good idea (cold temps).
Environmentalism is this century’s snake oil. Mankind will never be bereft of fools or scoundrels.
no, snake oil was business, scamming the gullible
Enviromentsl grants and loans are treft from the treasury. money is laundered through companies established explicitly for the purpse
The Democrat Party is a Criminal Enterprise
The nice thing about the Zomeworks tracker is its a passive tracker and does not need electricty. At night you just push it back into position and it starts all over the next day. Its supposed to improve the efficiency of your system by up to 35-40%. We get a lot of gray days in the winter in GA.
Needs no extra power. Good stuff!
I’ve come up with a few good modifications for existing space and water heating systems (free designs by others), but it appears that the Mechanical Code (IMC, IBC, ASTM) favors manufacturers and is going to get in the way somewhat. It’s likely that many others are going to build the systems anyway. I wonder how many people have dumped insurance or are planning on doing so.
I received a call also, I told them I was not interested in solar. They asked me why and I told them the sun was rapidly burning out and solar panels were on the way out they better look for a new job...
LOL...nice response. The dim bulbs that call me would reply “Oh, really? OMG, I didn’t know that! Like, I better go get my nails done right away.”
Excellent point. I am tired of those who are pointing the finger at the GOP instead at those who are really at fault. they are forgetting that we only have the House
When they call me I tell them it isn’t right , moral, or just to steal from my neighbors for my benefit. Then I tell them they should quit trying to get people to steal. Then they say they don’t know what I am talking about and hang up. Yeah they do. When we all refuse the fruits of thievery, thievery will stop. Well done.
