It'll run about $10,000-$12,000 for batteries, PV panels and an inverter, with another $3,000-4,000 to install

Shucks, what's $16,000 if it's going to save the environment? What was the cost of that propane use again? Oh, and that wood burner? Not in California you won/t, they're on their way out.

And what was the expected life of the batteries and how much to replace them? Oh, and how are they going to be disposed of when dead?

Solar is the way to go - get off oil, then tell the sheiks to go pound sand.

But this is not about saving money. This is about saving something else.

I wonder where his solar panels were made?
