Just pay us and we'll accept it, it's like 90 Miles from Vegas. The main opposition is transport through Vegas. If every man, woman, and child got a few hundred bucks for storing it, They could drive it down the strip, i'm pretty sure. There are routes through Henderson and out through Parumph that avoid the main population centers, especially after they finish the new bridge accross the black canyon gorge.

I figure it could also light up the strip, too.

Tidal is better, and if we must go Solar, Solar Power Satellites are a better alternative than the waste of land that land based Solar is.

There's also Fusion, which is a much better alternative than any of the above.

I want to go with a solar/wind hybrid for my home. It's what I'm looking into anyway. It's not likely that there will be a day with no sun and no wind. That would make an electric car more worth being bought.

Electric isn't a good option right now, our electric company and our gas company (they're the same people but it's 2 different bills to pay) just raised everyones rates last year by half, citing that their executives only make 7 million a year.

It is my goal to become independant of these things. I don't feel it is my responsability to make sure Ameren execs can afford a new yacht.

Let me know how that goes for you, when you are buying those solar panels (made by a corporation) and the wiring (made by another corporation) and all the other equipment (made by other corporations) and then paying for maintenance (either to some one working for a corporation, or to purchase materials manufactured by other corporations).

Sorry, couldn't resist a little jab at your statement you are going solar/wind because you don't want to help some execs afford a new yacht.

Personally, I hope that all works out for you. Personally, I'd probably be doing the same thing if all this "affordable" housing that's floating around wasn't so unaffordable.

I'd love to put in a 5kw wind turbine, or even two, but they violate my city's ordinances. Grr. Solar panels don't work for me very well either, just because of the positioning of the house. And the house is 100 years old, and not very efficient. Technology doesn't seem capable of doing much to make me any greener, so I did what I could by surrounding my house with food-bearing shrubs and trees.

If I outlive my significant other, I'm probably going to liquidate everything, sell this house, and move out to the sticks where I can more or less do whatever I want. Or I'll buy an RV and turn into a nomad. If I can afford it, I'll do both, and use the house in the sticks as my nomadic base camp. I want to see more of our country, appreciate it before we've completely turned it into a pile of plastic and garbage, even document it all, so people in the future can get a glimpse of what we had before we fucked it all up.

Why don't you go and do that right now, it'll be great to hear from you in twenty years amazed at how much greener everything is, instead of hearing you continuing your ranting 20 years from now before embarking on that adventure.

The thing is that I can pick who I want to purchase these items from. With the power and gas company they are the only choice, it's them or none.
