Agreed. And prices for the greenie stuff is outrageous.

I put a lot of solar onto my roof (with related inverter and batteries) to remove some of the high volatility of energy costs from my budget. I like green tech from a libertarian stand point (i.e. I can make it work fairly efficiently for me because I'm not trying to meet some standard that has no bearing on throughput). But I'm in a rare situation where it works well (i.e. my retirement investments are plenty to retire from soon -- time to spend money on lowering lifestyle expenses, I live in the south where we have plenty of sunshine -- especially during the time of the year we use the most power for A/C, I have a large roof facing south toward the equator to help me out during the winter). So very few people are in a situation that checks off all those boxes to make solar work well. That's why I hate the Dims' one-size-fits-all approach to green energy.

To: Tell It Right

I bought this brand new house because it has no exposed window towards West or South. And we have front porch and back porch to block the sun. Our electric bill averages $34.50 / month in NE Florida.
