It is weird time to be super hopeful. War. Economic trouble. Corruption. You know, bad stuff.

But at the same time, I am the most hopeful I have been that we will be able to retake the government and build something better than what we had.

If ever there was a need for solar energy—here it is. No country should have a 90% dependency on oil—not if they want to survive and/or have political autonomy!

Faced with rising electricity prices, Americans are stealthily adding DIY solar systems. And they aren’t telling utilities | CNN Balcony solar can be installed almost anywhere, is cheap, easy to set up and reduces bills. It’s increasingly appealing to Americans struggling with soaring energy costs, but it exists in a legal gray...

Solar PV: $76.67/watt in 1977. Under $0.30 today. A 99.6% decline.

The forecasters keep underestimating it. Every year the actual cost beats the previous year's projection. Manufacturing learning curve, not policy.

Why Western states are pushing for plug-in solar - High Country News Plug-in solar offers an easy way to save on power bills and transition to clean energy, but whether the market in the U.S. takes off depends on state laws and product standards.

Just plug solar panels attached to a microinverter into any household outlet, place the panels outside on a patio or balcony. You can generate enough power to offset around 15% to 20% of your energy usage. Gear costs a few hundred dollars & can be set up almost anywhere.
