		<description>Jimmy Carter gave us the Department of Energy to develop solar and other alternative enegries. Now, 40 years later, we are using and importing more oil than ever. The alternative and renewable energy sources are just where they were 40 years ago, almost nothing. Thank you Washington.</description>

		<description>I agree. Those Democrats are so full of hot hair they would keep the windmills churning for hours. Easy way to reduce the energy bill short of firing them.</description>

		<description>Why, golly ... that&#039;d be how market economics works. Early adopters pay more. Then more manufacturing comes online to meet expected demand. Then the market slumps when all the early adopters run out. Then the manufacturers figure out how to reengineer their product to get it to more buyers, causing other marketers to get in on a market-movement. This causes more competition as buyers are created rather than found and so on and so on until a market-momentum is created. 

Gee, it&#039;s as if journalists in the MSM have never studied simple economics. 

(head slap)

What was I thinking. Of course they haven&#039;t. 

They&#039;re dumber than dirt.</description>

		<description>&quot;Mr. Hare ended up paying $77,000 for a large solar setup that he figures might have cost him $100,000 a year ago.&quot; &amp;  &quot;Panel prices have fallen about 40 percent since the middle of last year,&quot;

I know my math skills suck but if the cost has dropped 40% since last year then shouldn&#039;t Mr. Hare have paid $60,000.00 for them?  Methinks either they are wrong about the prices of the dude was ripped off.

Solar works great up here in the great white north.  For about 30 days a year!  I still say if we installed windmill in the chambers of congress we could power DC for free.</description>

		<description>On the topic of environmental silliness...

Liberals, contrary to the posing, aren&#039;t that interested in the environment. Take organic farming and bottled water, for instance. If all world crops ceased using safe synthetic pesticides in order to go organic, more land would be wasted to grow crops AND over a billion people would starve to death from lack of food, because growing organic produce is terribly inefficient. Organic is also no healthier than regular produce. The same gullibility goes for bottled water, which is more expensive per ounce than oil. You&#039;d be surprised to see the brands of bottled water that come from municipal tap water and the number that failed safety standards set for tap water.

The liberals like kooky environmentalism because it offers the illusion of being intellectually superior and socially conscious. It gives them the impression that they are doing something valuable, even when all they are doing is regulating the toilet flow of the neighbors or forking over an extra dollar for tomatoes at the &quot;green&quot; store. &quot;Green&quot; is all about image. I watched a home show the other day when renovators cooed over environmentally friendly counter tops. Do they think that a counter top made from recycled glass bottles at premium price requires any less oil to produce, process and ship than a real granite slab?</description>

We&#039;ve finally uncovered some of those green jobs Odumbo keeps touting.</description>

		<description>Anyone stupid enough to &#039;invest&#039; in solar panels has no clue, whatsoever, about the fundamentals of return on investment.  Well said, ilzito!</description>

		<description>~ Mr. Hare ended up paying $77,000 for a large solar setup that he figures might have cost him $100,000 a year ago. ~

How many centuries will that investment take to pay for itself?

Also, I cannot wait to fly on the first solar powered jet.
