A guy came into my shop back in the early 90’s. He was driving VW Rabbit and had a couple of solar panels tucked under his arm. He wanted us to fabricate some brackets to mount the panels on the roof of his car.

He said he was going to put an electric motor in the car and a bunch of batteries and it would run for free.

I did some figuring and told him what it would cost. So then he says, “Oh, I thought I could just cut you in on the profits”.

I laughed in his face.

I guess people like him are getting government money now.

Even if he did this, he’d be paying you to help him power his radio. :)
