  Your lower energy bill is just one side of it. The true win is for our planet.

    We’re not going to win hearts and minds unless we can show personally impactful results. Solar is an excellent way to do that.

    Me for example; At this point I’d have to pay more for solar on my home. That’s kinda hard to swallow unless you’re well off.

    I should note; Got a tiny house and it’s very efficient. I suspect most homeowners would be better off on solar.

      So, what you’re saying is that people are selfish douchebags who care only about their own pocketbook? Sounds about right.

        I’d love nothing more than to have solar panels and a home battery to help save the planet but I can’t even afford my rent. How the fuck àm I supposed to buy a home and also I stall solar. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t think that it’s self centered thinking that’s the problem, personally.

      Even if 1000 of us get together and get solar, it will be offset because Bezos bought another mega yacht. They need to be regulated out of existence.
