    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.

    Will be illegal soon. You will eat the bugs, and you will be happy about it.

    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.

    Nah. Probably going to be a few more days. My area has (/had) lots of big trees. Was a totally mess.
