IDK where you live, but we are using it here and now. I see solar
roofs on homes all over the state. I see some solar energy farms too.
Funny, I thought the US was a world LEADER, not a last adopter.





I often wonder if the solar cells on homes will go the way of the solar
heaters about 40 years ago. People were installing things on the top of
the house to collect the heat of the sun. Seldom see any of those any
more and the ones that had them removed them when they needed to
reshingle the roof.

Some were putting in wood stoves and heatalaters. Many of those have
given up on burning wood.

Guy here had to take the installer to court because after a few years
the installed solar panels caused his roof to leak.

Well, there is a good argument. Because some installers are so stupid
they can't correctly install solar, it's all bad, let's just give up.
Have you sent that as a tweet to Trump?





We talk here about
shingles lasting 25 years or so. Does anyone in their right mind think
that solar panels will hold up that long?
