    You still stuck in modern times when you consider our planet is 4.6 billion years old.

    Cajun Field when built was -2 ft below sea level in 1970.

    With all this global warming/climate change happening and using modern satellite data that is accurate to within a fraction of an inch. Today, 54 years later Cajun Field is now all the way down to -2 ft. At this rate of change it is projected that Cajun Field will be at huge risk as it will drop even lower to -2 ft in just 25 years.

    When someone tells me climate change is real and I need to pay for “carbon credits”, then buys TWO beachfront homes, just follow the freaking money.

    We live on an eons old river delta, of course it will erode. At the same time, new land is appearing south of the basin. It’s nature.

    I’ll read through all of this in coming days to see the “green” vs “hazardous” fuel discussion later. Maybe.

    We lost power around 3am on Monday and got it back about 3-4pm today. Thank God for gasoline and propane that keeps generators running!

    You’re looking at this all wrong and are Exhibit ‘A’ for those who need reeducation camp. Proper folks will be in touch with you shortly.

    Naw, my brother went all in on solar when the subsidies existed years ago. It was great, has ~4K conditioned, all electric, bill was about 100/mth in the summer. The utilities started considering him a producer and came up with fees that rendered the investment useless. He’s at the point of considering getting more panels, buying two totaled Toyota Prisuses for the batteries and flipping off the grid. He has a generator back up, so he probably could pull it off.

    The risk he sees is replacement parts (took a lightning hit this year, fried a panel, no parts) and hurricane damage. His panels are high enough where theft risk is very low.

    ALWAYS follow the money.

    You’re welcome. Real life is the best teacher. Mankind always wants to grasp the brass ring, not knowing the rope holding it is rotten.

    Real life experience is way better than manipulated statistics and fear mongering. Examples of risk are often overlooked when grasping the brass ring.

    LOL, we pulled our Nest thermostats out. The constant game playing of manipulating the thermostat in the summer had to go. Not a darn thing smart about coming home to a 82 degree house.

    I’ll be passing thru an earthworm before I eat bugs.
