Chrissy was referring to Akron, I grew up in that area...

Yup. We're on about 7yr for payback. That's the only real datum of interest anyway. ;)

Me and the wife work up some triboelectricity.

Personally I do not own a car anymore, it became a drag on a fixed income, even before gas got so high, with taxes and upkeep. So I am going to get a check in a few weeks, that will allow me to buy an electric scooter, as well as maybe a solar array, so no insurance besides homeowners which is affordable, and will cost less electricity than a car, and will go 30 miles on a charge, so it will get me everywhere I need to go :)

Well, if they want to pay the higher prices, let them. It's their funeral, as they say. Fuck Ted Cruz.

How much did those cost?

Zerosumgame-vaxxed's avatar

Depends on the type of course, gel batteries are costlier then lead/acid ones, but then again you probably want marine deep cycle ones which , again, cost more. need to take in the min/max temps as well;

here are some

At least as much as the generator. Solar fanboys never mention either storage or maintenance. When I lived in Maui I asked a solar installer how many systems were still functioning after 10 years. 90%, he said.

Um, I just did, it is pretty much always part of it, so I am still not really sure what your point is/

Funny, that's what my medical chart says.

No one is being forced to accept the energy resulting from solar panels....

Only after I brought it up. I guarantee that $10,000 setup did not include storage. Unless it was just enough to charge a phone. Storage is at least as expensive as generation, even on utility scale.

Are you really that unfamiliar with the subject? Or just that stupidly obstinate ad wedded to being a jerk that keeps on advertising how much of a jerk you are?

I'm from Detroit myself, so I get the vibe totally. First ran into the Pretenders in the Army in Germany in the early 80's...love that Chrissie Hynde snarl!

I covered alternate energy from 1973-2011 for newspapers, and I know a lot more about it than you do. As becomes clearer from each exchange.

So, just stupid, good on you for admitting it
