I was on the DKos page click.actionnetwork.org/.....and really, made a unrelated comment, as the topic was trump and recycling. So I thought I'd put it here too. The more people who go solar, the cheaper it will get. Nothing like a little competition to lower the price of things. So, the only realistic way for people to go totally solar, is with government involvement. It could so easily be done. Anyway, here's my comment: "I've been keeping track of the price of going major solar, (and I checked on a windmill before solar was
even available), for the last 30 years and I can assure you that it has always been price prohibitive for the average Joe. If you average in the price of the regular maintenance on solar, which pretty much has to be done by a professional..........it gets worse. I actually remember getting an estimate on a windmill. In 1987 dollars, it was $12000. When they get the price down to.............maybe $5000 or less, they may have something. I don't think that many people know what's involved in the installation, and the parts you need to hook it up. You have to have the ability to sell excess power you create to the power company, to make it viable.......and right. And they have to buy it. Now that's what I'm talking about!"
It would be so easy to do, create a mega amount of jobs, and the tax revenue would shake Washington. We Must put as many Democrats in office this November who believe this.............period.
