Rude and obnoxious condescending people I know enough of to not deal with them online

The one track solution and disdain for anything else is all I need to know.

Your dismissive attitude of solar just shows the ignorance of how inexpensive and how much more efficient they have become in just the last 5 years.

Capitalism is holding solar back the big players have come in with loans and leases charging 7 times what the components cost. I installed my own grid tie second system it cost me 4 grand for 4600 watts of panels and inverter and a week on the remainder of my shop roof it will have paid for itself in 4 years. We are now at 100 percent power production in Nov in the NY Catskills on sunny days.

I never said solar was the panacea you dismissed it out of hand.

If we started building nuke plants right now we would not have them online for 15 years and really do we want to put them all over the world? That would just be great! Lets just give every country nuclear material that will work out just fine....

But really, I don't give a Rat's ass.
