50%? really? Wow, I had no idea the gubmint subsidies were so effective.
Take away my tax money and see how much that crap really costs.
IF PV was worth a **** the gubmint wouldn't have to financially support the companies pushing the scam, they wouldn't have to bribe consumers to use it, they wouldn't have to financially punish the competition.
But hey, if you're still convinced it's a good idea have a mutli-level investment deal you might want to get into.
No it's not a pyramid scheme, it's a trapezoid! 4 sides means 4 times the return. The trick is to get in on the ground level early in the development, how much can I put you down for?
BTW I was in "the solar business" long ago, before most of you had ever heard of it.
I started working at the solar 1 plant in Daggett in 1980. Thermal plant.
I was planning to make a career out of this wonderful new technological industry, it didn't take long to figure out what a scam it was.
It only existed because the gubmint paid them ot run it. As soon as the gubmit money dried up, they closed it down.
it was just too damn expensive to operate.
Later they re-opened it (with more gubmint money) and called it solar 2. Basically all they did was add miles of PV to it.
That lasted until the gubmint pulled their money out again, then it closed within days. It simply could not compete without artificial support.
I wish it worked. I wish solar energy was the answer and solved all our problems and was a better idea that nat gas or nuke or whatever.
But I won't pretend it is something it is not. I detest the hypocrisy and deception involved with it.
