Hi, great forum, thanks.
This guy Bill is really pushing MMGW (man made global warming) and that just to start makes him a little dishonest in my opinion, I understand him (and people like algore! And empty headed “movie stars and the like) after their socialist theories? were completely proved wrong they had to do something, or sell somethig, but I distrust them. the Science is far from proven.
I think that taking into account everything from efficiency to freedom of the individual the only thing that makes sense is: if it doesn’t make sense in terms of investment return, forget it!!
For example; you can get a return on your investment on a Chinese built (and Chinese technology by the way) vacuum tube solar water boiler in less than a year in most cases, after that its money in your pocket. By the way; they cost around $130.00 wholesale in china (yes one hundred and thirty dollars US currency for a 120-150 liter one)
I have not seen a solar panel that makes economic sense except for the one (thin tech) a new factory that is selling only to municipalities in Germany and the US. (They apparently agree with me) and it is the same with wind power, you will never see your money again if you buy a wind turbine generator only for your home.
As soon as battery technology permits it I am sure we will see a marketable (one that makes economic sense to the guy on the street like me)electric car. Its all business after all.
Bye for now and God bless.
