A friend of a friend is a pilot who recently transitioned to private charters from the airlines (backwards to most career paths). Twist is these private jets are A350, A320Neo, etc. Makes Taylor's planes look like toys.LMAO that's why I keep seeing Taylor swift plane memes all over the place.

Gonna need some back up for this one. Sounds wrong on both counts.More people die from extreme cold than extreme heat. And overall deaths related to both extremes has been declining for decades.
Absolutely Tim. I did write an incorrect statement that both temperature extreme related deaths have been in decline for decades. I did not intend to make things better than they are or conflate things and apologize.Gonna need some back up for this one. Sounds wrong on both counts.
What is the carbon footprint of all of her worldwide fans traveling to her shows in their 4X4 diesel pickups?5000 lbs? Tokyo to LAX at about 500 gal/hour for 12 hours. LAX to Vegas at ~350 gal/hr for an hour. That is ~6500 gallons of fuel or ~52,000 lbs.
One of the greatest lies the industry made is that we, as individual consumers, can make a difference and prevent global warming.Anyone who can afford the lifestyle will never change it. All beit the ones pushing the soundbites
One long term grass roots change is smoking.One of the greatest lies the industry made is that we, as individual consumers, can make a difference and prevent global warming.
We can’t. We won’t. And until the industry pivots to a different model (build local), there will be nothing changing.
You need not be. I checked, the sun comes up every day. (and they invented a thing called a battery that can store the power in case it's not sunny)Solar? Not bad for those that boondock but, as a consistent and stable energy source? I’m not sure? They can be damaged by hail or debris and what happens when they age out too? Will they get recycled? Who is going to supply us with more? How about the cost of replacement?
Yeah but, what about the long dark cold winter days and use up that battery and those darn clouds just won’t let the sun come through? I wish I could be as optimistic as you and spend a considerable amount of money on those solar panels and integration. I’ve had tree limbs blow from neighbours trees and go through my hot tub cover. Maybe not something to worry about for solar panels? I camp and run a trailer off battery power successfully. Just not sure about the energy demands of a home that is wired for 120/240 VAC and 15 amp circuits. Maybe keep the lights on but, I’d worry about high demand use like cooking, water heater and using the cloths dryer. The fridge should be ok.You need not be. I checked, the sun comes up every day.

As for hail?? Golf ball sized hail trashed the roof of my car but not the solar panels on my roof.
Sorry for the interruption please carry on.
That's your share of the gas plantSounds like a lot more worrying than needed.
I'll be switching over to net metering when my microFIT contract ends (Thanks for $100K Ms Wynn) and then I'll let you know how it works.
I'm not sure how to read your problem. Cutting down all the trees makes it safer for your hot tub and solar panels but trees eat CO2 and provide cooling.Yeah but, what about the long dark cold winter days and use up that battery and those darn clouds just won’t let the sun come through?

Lots of polished looking crooks in the solar sector. If you get serious, send me a pm with area where new house is and I can get you some names of trusted contractors in that area. I know some people that work for a large solar company so they have a good idea who people should talk to or stay away from.Well, I’ve been looking into solar energy for our home and it looks promising. Thanks for that Tim!
I could jinx myself as we just sold our home and looking at a century home that has hot water radiant heat. It’s completely updated with a new modern low and slow burn boiler to reduce cycling. Still burns Natural gas.
Anyways, the offer hasn't been accepted so, it might not be our house. I did look at how solar panels would do and it looks promising. The roof is new so that is good. The best roof area for panel locations are east and west facing. Trees are set far back on the property so, not a factor. . It’s said south facing panels work best but the front of the house faces south. Cosmetically it wouldn’t look good IMO. If my math is correct and based on internet provided cost estimates, it’s in the $25k-$30k to go solar.
The good thing environmentally is the home location in close proximity to amenities. The LCBO and grocery store are walking distance.
I did the calculations for installing a DIY kit with grid tie at .039/kwh (not sure if this is the current rate) and it works out to $1700/year in power savings for me. Without grid tie somewhere around $750/year. A DIY setup for my roof would be about $10K, so the payoff would be about 6 years.Well, I’ve been looking into solar energy for our home and it looks promising. Thanks for that Tim!

Does anyone know what grid tie is paying per kwh right now?
