My extremely on the cheap solar build I want to do has a return on investment of around 4 or 5. Bit it depends how long the panels and inverters last.

James Hansen spared nothing when criticizing Obama and th rest of the Democratic Party.
Obama was in a perfect position to do things and didn't as far as Hansen is concerned.
Later,anything he tried could be obstructed or undone in Congress.That's still in process today.
Hansen also emphasizes the important role nuclear power can play in a post-combustion world.Solar and wind will never get us off fossil fuels he believes.
Your PV system and LEAF is inspiring.I lived a decade off the grid,although it wasn't without issues.I got as far as a PV-charged EV scooter,but it's a toy more than real transportation.
Today,all my budget allows,is to purchase wind-power from West Texas,through my electric cooperative.It's a penny more per kW/h.Happy to pay it.I can't afford the solar-electric program they offer.Boo hiss!
I watch Green-eyed Motors sometimes.Before I die,I'd like to be driving a plug-in.And it looks like I can buy a 'real' used one cheaper than I can convert one from ICE.20-miles range would do me fine,so the most entry-level,no whistles and bells kinda vehicle would be fine for me.
