I knew I wasn't going to save money when I bought my Escape Hybrid in 2005. And I know I won't save money by driving a KIA Niro EV.
But I am part of the solution

Its comical to watch people repeat the same lines over and over.. its like they handed out a booklet of denier phrases.. and conspiracy is always in there somewhere..
Damn, we American's are like farm animals..
Yes, all of the governments on this planet are all in cahoots with each other to fool you.. and they're watching you with their brain wave satellites.
I saw a youtube video showing that if we wrap our heads with tin foil, it can stop the 5G radio frequencies they're using.. but be careful its not so tight it cuts off blood circulation. If its on youtube, it must be true right? Especially if the person making the video is wearing a white coat and has all kinds of graphs and charts.
If agendas, funding, and conclusions are your thing, I would kindly suggest visiting a church..
I don't think anyone expected you to admit you were wrong.You're calling me arrogant?
No, I won't explain jack squat to you.. I'd rather you waste your money.
Have a nice day genius.
I am in it for energy independence, reduced pollution, making the Middle East irrelevent.Not sure we need to believe in climate change to join the struggle.
Glad to meet a fellow republicanI am in it for energy independence, reduced pollution, making the Middle East irrelevent.
Me too but I'm LibertarianI am in it for energy independence, reduced pollution, making the Middle East irrelevent.
Or will he say, "wow, this needs further study. Better give us two million next year. This could be catastrophic."
Let me take a shot at it. I've been off grid for about 5 years now. Off grid except for the 1000gal LP tank that gets filled up once a year. I own tank so I pay about $1.50/gallon. I'm most likely running a deficit over what I would have paid had I had the 1500' of power lines strung up my driveway. I would probably be in better shape had I had a professional outfit do the install. I only had $17,000 to play with as that is what the grid tie would have cost me. Between the two diy pole mount (non-tracking) 2kW arrays, the two whole house generators and portable gasoline unit, the 3 inverters (one taken out twice by lightning strikes) and charge controllers (that need to be upgrade to arc-fault units), the lead acid batteries, the LiFePO4 batteries (somewhere between China and LA) the battery chargers LP, Gasoline and so on and so forth I'm not sure I will ever save money over what It would have cost to install the power lines with a monthly bill for about 200kWh. That should cover it, but there is still some hope left that with more experience and time I will get better at it. If I get really good at it I may grow some weed and actually turn a nice profit.You're calling me arrogant?

Crap.. and I thought my 600 foot driveway was long....Let me take a shot at it. I've been off grid for about 5 years now. Off grid except for the 1000gal LP tank that gets filled up once a year. I own tank so I pay about $1.50/gallon. I'm most likely running a deficit over what I would have paid had I had the 1500' of power lines strung up my driveway.

Not at night...
you completely missed my point. Digging up trees to built solar farms = not very good...It would require massive storage solutions for solar to work.
What wrong with visiting the church or looking down on people that go to church? Ate you saying people that go church are uneducated?Its comical to watch people repeat the same lines over and over.. its like they handed out a booklet of denier phrases.. and conspiracy is always in there somewhere..

I have long been looking for a fridge that would leave the compressor off during peak TOU rates. Light should still come on with the door and the ice still dispense, just no compressor for a few hours.- you fridge, or heater/ A/c etc. can run ahead of schedule during the day - when there is plenty of solar. Same for many industrial processes.
I was in Alaska when they sent all those balloons up to investigate the huge whole (ozone) that was going to kill us all....If a college professor is given a grant of a million bucks to study climate science, is he going to come to the conclusion
that "there's nothing to see here. No problems at all." ( Never happens )
I did not "misunderstand" deforestation is a huge problem and has been for a long time. Your idea has merit, but I disagree with you on not needing storage.you completely missed my point. Digging up trees to built solar farms = not very good...
Use already existing spaces - which are cleared = parkinglots.
Storage is a none issue, we just need to manage the timing of our demand. Pretty simple problem to solve, most of large nighttime loads are thermal. Only a little fraction is light and entertainment.

Would one of those light switch timers work ? Automatically turn off the fridge/freezer for a set amount of time ?I have long been looking for a fridge that would leave the compressor off during peak TOU rates. Light should still come on with the door and the ice still dispense, just no compressor for a few hours.
Maybe if it was wired just to the compressor. I am not willing to cut wires for this. Fridge has too many digital controls and the compressor is driven with a 3 phase inverter. Built-in hard wired fridge.Would one of those light switch timers work ? Automatically turn off the fridge/freezer for a set amount of time ?
I’m old school electro mechanical. You could interrupt the wire from the compressor switch with a relay controlled by a timer. If you want to get fancy, you install a second temperature probe with an external control that will override the power saving relay in case the interior of the fridge gets too warm.I have long been looking for a fridge that would leave the compressor off during peak TOU rates.

I ate saying non of dat.What wrong with visiting the church or looking down on people that go to church? Ate you saying people that go church are uneducated?
It is not the case.If that is the case,
And you keep making nonsensical statements and irrational arguments while sliding in personal attacks.. It makes you look real good.it explains a lot about Obama as how smart he really is since he has been going to church for decades listening to his preacher and now he just made big speech at COP26 meeting. Is he Climate scientist? They are about making money and control instead of really putting the money into solving the problem. High speed train in Cali is good example, where did all that money go to?
Yep, keep looking down on people thinking you are so smart.
BTW, I am not Christian but I do not like to see the so called 'Educated' to look down on other people religion and their believes. May be that is what the 'Educated' American like to do and also look down on people that live in other state.
