I am not to worried about RE progressing over the long haul. I am more concerned over our current political system. Nixon looks like a patron saint compared to the current conditions. The level of corruption and criminality is unprecedented in this country, from the top down. Without a full purge of ...

I think you will find that the major hurdles to RE is sitting in the WH. This impact is grossly underestimated and will not only effect RE's progress forward, but potentially change life as we know it in the USA. The result of the coming November elections will tell the tail. Do we continue until we ...

When I ran my overhead cables underground, as part of that upgrade, I had them put in a 50KW trans as an upgrade to my old 15KW. There are three houses that run off it. I wanted the extra power "gap" so I would have plenty of room for any PV I continued to add Plus wind. I most likely will be the only ...

AS always, it depends on where you live. If you drive one or more EV's that can be a very erratic load from day to day and season to season. I find with 3 EV's that my gross usage is around 8 MWH's a year, give or take. My tot runs around 24-25 MWH's a year, so around 1/3 for the EV's. Also the cloud ...

There are actually 3 panel sections per wing, picture only shows 2, totaling 12 panels per wing, 48 total. Did you watch the launch live... weather perfect. To be blunt, I thought the commentary and the vid shots could have been allot better, given the tech available today VS '69. The solids detached ...

Hi: Trackers are not simple. I have six single axis trackers that follow the sun with seasonal (Twice) adjustment. Pseudo polar axis tracking, etc..

I'm sorry, on your objection list you specifically included non-home owners as part of a "stranded assets" group regarding help. The Tax credits are going away so there are none to sell anyway. But when they were available, selling them would expand their utility, but no guarantee they are used for energy ...

Yes, true. But other than living in a society where things like health care, food, housing, education, a clean world are presented by the state as a functioning base line, you can't help them.

Such programs are good. But be careful 30% savings is not the same as 30% in production. The Fed is removing the RE incentives for direct solar purchases, and that damage is noted, along with everything else the "Do not say his name" is doing against a clean world. Where is a functioning "Elder Wand" ...
