Harvey,
The system I was referring to, is connected through the electric meter and when the power generated by the solar array is greater than what you are taking from the city grid, the meter actually turns backwards, thereby crediting your account with the electric company. Unless your utility has restrictions on the type of system you can put in place it should make sense.

That is too bad, and yet another example of how overly bureaucartic our country has become and it futher exemplifies how selfish special interests are...... sigh......

Move to hawaii....we can open a shop...and put solar on it.

Chuck,
Harv would do it in a heartbeat. I aon the other hand get very cranky anytime the temp outside gets over 72. I have been pushing for Alaska for years. He wants your neck of the woods.

Now we need to get some of this forum into Congress and some idiots out of there.

Gonna have to start with the head idiot....oooppsss, sorry, he is on a 5 week vacation!

Doug

Ah, I knew there was a reason why I still liked you. (devil) 

Dave

Ed, sorry if I offended you....

If it makes your feel any better, I don't feel that we had any GOOD choices in the last go around.

And, yes, it is good to live in a country where one can speak his mind.

Doug

I agree James,

Its much better to be able to know where you stand in relationship to a person (either good or bad), than to try to guess where they really stand while they try to please everyone. IE Senator Clinton, or Kerry.

I find that it's easier to relate to someone that takes a position, even if it is against mine. At least they have principals that they stand for and believe in....Many of the current polititions are more busy keeping everyone happy, instead of defining what they stand for to solidify their support. You can say what you want about Governor Arnold,....He walked on both sides of the aisle with his viewpoints, but defined himself so people knew what he stood for, and will most likely get re-elected.

No one likes zebra's that change their stripes to suit the moment.

I can't say that I agree with you. And it has nothing to do with our present leader.

Do you really want a leader that can't admit when he is wrong?

Do you want a leader that does what he thinks is right, or someone that makes an informed decision based on what his constituents want?

Are the leader's decisions based on a moral compass or an ego the refuses to admit that his decision could be wrong?

History is full of leaders who marched to their own beat. Some of them became infamous for exterminating millions of their own people.

Back to the recession... Over the past for years, I have seen my costs go up on just about everything. Energy costs are through the roof, which affects everything shipped in and out of my business. Labor costs and health costs continue to rise. Local governments continue to raise taxes to cover their costs. I am making more money because I have been forced to become more aggressive in getting and keeping sales.

The tax cut that was mentioned in the thread has not done enough the trickle down to smaller businesses. I can’t even remember where mine went. Since I believe I pay a lot of taxes, you would think that I would notice if the government gave me some back.

I want a leader who makes decisions based on true facts. Can anyone find WMDs? I want a leader who, if he is willing to meet with the parents of killed service personnel, doesn't prescreen them first. I want a leader who stays out of my doctor's office and supports the medical community in finding cures for diseases. I want a leader who keeps religion in his home and place of worship not in a government building or in a public school.

I hope one day to be governed by such a leader.
