I sometimes wonder what Harry is seriously suggesting, as none of his
proposals are practical, except for a very few living with the support of
a highly industrialised country that is not relying upon the technology he
espouses. I can't help but feel that a lot of his postings are trying to
justify to himself having spent as much money as he did on his house.


How much money do think I spent?


According to your previous postings, in pure cash terms around £20k, of
which £14k was on the solar panels. However, not included in your
costings are the lost interest on that money, had you invested it
elsewhere (£5,600 over four years in the HSBC scheme I have mentioned),
nor the value of the time and effort you invested in the project.
