re: #547 Ojoe

It is a very long term effort.
(to switch over the design of the housing stock).
But California has some new rules coming in a few years to start that process. If Jerry Brown is elected governor, that will help, he started a lot of solar stuff some decades ago. We’ve been sitting on our ass, as a country, for a long time.

You don’t know squat about the actual practical aspects of using solar… like I said above, I was in the research side of the industry for 13 years… you can have solar if you want… right now… all you want… but someone is going to have to subsidize it almost totally… because it is a lost leader financially.

If the state of California has the money to start paying for it, lock, stock and solar panel, then they better get to it. If they don’t, then maybe the federal government will pay for you scheme.

Where do you think the money is going to come from to afford a energy source such as solar which is no where near even a break even proposition.

It may be in the future… but it’s a long way off. I want to see it happen too, but there is a big difference between the ideals and the realities.

And that’s the problem… if everyone would stop being so reactionary and approach this without all the agendas, maybe, and only maybe, we could get something accomplished.

Going to the moon was not a partisan venture. Right now, renewables and green technologies has party politics written all over it.

Won’t work that way.
