You’re reasonable and logical...refreshing. Most aren’t.
Here in SE PA, our infrastructure is old. We have so much work to do.
The only worse waste I’ve seen in work is in my USAF career.
Budget starts OCT 1. We bought over 100K in tv’s SEP 30.
The reason was for tours. I was in a SCIF...
In utilities, one job, one day we paid me 6 HR’s OT, and a 100% T&M to appease a university President. Completely for looks, 40K for crew and my design.
I’m that way with solar. My solar system is pretty efficient and will pay for itself in about 10 years. That includes the cost of converting my gas appliances to electric and also paying monthly interest on the HELOC loan I used to pay for most of it. But that’s only because I used MY money and researched MY average power usage each month and had a system custom for MY house so that it’d benefit ME (and my wife) to keep us from worrying about our energy costs rising bigly and ruining our financial plan as we transition into retirement. Government and bureaucracies don’t have that incentive to be efficient. That’s why solar as the Dims push it (forcing the utilities to “go green”) doesn’t work and neither will EV’s done their way. But decentralized solar power works fine for some people and I think EV’s will too.
