re: #72 Nekama

The great thing about solar is that it produces power at the point where it is consumed. There is little need to upgrade the grid - an enormous investment - unlike wind power which is generally produced in remote areas and requires a new grid just to get to the grid.

Solar, and the new generation of nukes (that reprocesses spent fuel) such as what France uses to generate the majority of their electricity, are our country’s future and the free world’s security from the Islamists.

Combine that with the Better Place electric vehicle model, and we can dramatically reduce our dependence on the oil ticks.

Absolutely!

My proposal would make it MANDATORY for all new construction to incorporate solar panels into the roof and LEDs for lighting. This alone will drive the costs down for everyone. Retrofitting will be much more cost effective.
