This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Doesn't solar make your household independent from a big energy company? You would think conservatives in the sticks would especially appreciate renewable energy.
Only with batteries. Batteries often cost as much as the entire solar panel install.
I understand it's a costly upgrade but at the end they would get the independence of government that many of them claim to want. But I get your point, people will lack what they can't afford.
