The OC is very republican. But that’s OK, they can use solar too!

The fact is that the government, e.g. we citizens, provide support and subsidies to many industries we deem important. This includes the coal, oil, gas, corn, wheat, beef, mortgage, health and education industries. If you are a homeowner, you are getting a subsidy in the form of a mortgage tax deduction. If you install solar panels in California, you will get a subsidy in the form of federal tax credit and a cash rebate from the utility company.

The fact is that installing solar panels at your home or business can cut your electric bill to $0 today. For example, if you spend $200 per month for electricity, then you will spend $81,979 over 25 years, including a low annual price inflation rate of 2.5%. No matter how you calculate it, you will save money with a $5,000 to $25,000 solar panel system. Forget confusing cost per kilo-watt (kW) comparisons. Remember, you can pay the utility for 25 years, with annual price increases, or you can pay a lot less with solar power.

To do something about this today, visit FreeCleanSolar.com to search a nationwide network of 500 local solar panel installers representing most every solar panel brand including Sunpower, Kyocera, Sharp and Sunwize. You can also find information about state solar rebates, federal tax credits, solar financing and leasing, system costs and the benefits of going solar. The bottom line is that solar can save money and has never been more affordable than it is today.

I checked Miceage.com, and Aztek is right. The Solar Convention has rented out Disneyland for a big private party tonight. No offense to Pat Breenan, but why wasn’t the Disneyland party part of the article I wonder?

This behavior is so typical of these leftist greenies. They fly around the world in jets, soaking up taxpayer money and “stimulus” funds that came from our paychecks, telling us how to live our lives and preaching that we are killing the planet with our mundane middle class lifestyles. And then at the end of the day they go have a big party at Disneyland and use up huge amounts of electricity and resources to keep themselves entertained while they pat themselves on the back.

If these greenies were really that concerned about saving the planet at this convention, they would pull the plug on Disneyland and go back to their hotel room and read a book tonight. Typical hypocrite behavior from the Green crowd though.

If solar and wind are so great, why do they need subsidies? Other energy sources didn’t.
Also, many of those believiong we are to live the “green” life have a lot of green themselves and use it for trips around the world in private jets and limos telling everyone else how to live.

I can’t believe people here are actually AGAINST solar energy especially living in a place where it’s sunny 95% of the time. Hello? Use your brains a bit.

The sun shines everyday, even if you want it to or not. The wind also blows every day, not always in the same place. I think the problem is you never heard of batteries.

But I agree with nuclear being a solution.

Another industry that can’t survive without government subsidies.

I just wish the writer used the title “Giant solar conference “flares” up in Anaheim”. Just my perverse humor.

Solar and wind are a nice idea
But the sun doesn’t shine nor does the wind blow everyday
The true answer is
1) Nuclear (with constant recycled fuel, less waste to store)
2) Clean Coal (Lots of Gasification and scrubbers, re-build the oldest dirtiest plants)
3) Hydro (sorry fish)
4) Bio-mass (Trash, forest and farm waste)
5) Extreme Population Control
