I have NO desire to go ,,down stairs,,,It's NOT my kind o' place. E bayers are UP here,,,,And E bay is ALL I care about. Everyone UP here is 100% e bay.
Now,,,,now that all that B.S. is out of the way,,,,,,
Many of you have expressed either HIGH cooling costs or High heating costs....
Solar panels,,,,Bought on E BAY of course are the eco,,,nomical way to go....All of US are Unemployed, hahaha, and That's GREAT because we are ALL self sufficiant types. Winners!!!! We answer to NO ONE. We are, our OWN boss. 35 years,,,,NO Job! And, VERY PROUD of that fact.

Jack,
At least you have two dollar chuck, nothing like that here in Florida. (However good wine Has dropped about 20% in price)
Last time I was in LA I bought some cheap gas and could not hardly get over the El Ca--John pass!!
Looks like we are headed back to solar panels,Wind generators and one cylinder cars again. Not to worry

Jack...Yer right. There'll be a lot of "experts" offering opinions on solar power. The only one I'm interested in listening to is Roadsmith. She took the plunge and had solar panels installed. The truth will be told about next october when she comes in here and gives a comparison of last summer's electric bills with this summers's bill. I've experimented a little with solar, mostly to provide emergency power for my ham station. It wouldn't take much for me to go all out. It's just those long foggy days in the valley during the winter that's holding me back.

A local hardware store in a trendy area is all-solar. Here's the link. Note they said they expect to recoup their money in electricity savings in 20 years, and their installation (at wholesale, since they themselves sell and install solar energy systems) cost over $200,000.

Fluffy said it all-we were going to get solar 10 years ago-too expensive to install and toooooo long to recoup your money.
