Your Electric Bill Going WAY UP!

America has more natural gas than ever. Natural gas has been under
$2.00 very recently, but speculators are now driving natural gas
through the roof.

There is no shortage. There is no reason for the much higher prices
for natural gas other than speculators.

Many electric producers use natural gas to produce electricity. As
speculators drive up the price, so goes your electricity bill.

I power my entire ham radio station with solar power.

I wired my house so we could use the power mains or solar or wind.
Looking now into starting to convert to solar and wind and sell the
excess back to the power company.

Some of the more common characteristics of Asperger syndrome include:

* Inability to think in abstract ways (eg: puns, jokes, sarcasm, etc)
* Difficulties in empathising with others
* Problems with understanding another person's point of view
* Hampered conversational ability
* Problems with controlling feelings such as anger, depression
and anxiety
* Adherence to routines and schedules, and stress if expected routine
is disrupted
* Inability to manage appropriate social conduct
* Delayed understanding of sexual codes of conduct
* A narrow field of interests. For example a person with Asperger
syndrome may focus on learning all there is to know about
baseball statistics, politics or television shows.
* Anger and aggression when things do not happen as they want
* Sensitivity to criticism
* Eccentricity
* Behaviour varies from mildly unusual to quite aggressive
and difficult

At least I could lower the amount used from the power company. You
just
have to make sure your devices will last long enough to pay off. Most
solar
cells have an 8 year lifespan as of today.

• In this area a customer who uses c. 1000KWH per month can pay for a
5000W grid-tie system ($12,000) in about 51-months. The useful life of
the system is about 250 months. Solar panel prices have dropped about 55%
since 2006. Today a Kyocera 315W PV panel (KD315GX-LPB) costs $450.45 At
Northern Arizona Wind and Power. There is no sales tax in AZ on PV
panels. Installing such a system is fairly simple if you have an existing
240V 30A outlet.

and they are showing no sign of dropoff.

A documentary on TV discussed the cost and lifespan of commercial
solar cells.
It was stated that many cells last 8 years and cost so much that they
don't pay off in the end.
That may or may not be true and I have not bothered to read more on
the issue at this point.
If I put up a solar farm, I hope the cells will last a long time.
Hail is a scary thought.

of generating it -- and in this area they sell it back to customers for as

• With a grid-tie system you pump excess KWH back into the electric grid
during sunny days -- during which time the electric meter turns backwards
unless you made the mistake of having a new "Smart Meter" installed. For
electric utilities Smart Meters are very smart. For consumers, not. .
During hours of darkness one draws energy from the electric grid and the
electric meter unwinds. Sometimes our electric bill is $0.00. My
next-door neighbor's bill was $259 last month.

A decent set of traction batteries are good, or you can go for the
more expensive Lithium batteries. That an a inverter/charger and away
you go. People have been managing like this for ages.

Last year I visited a farm where they had both solar and wind
generation and he was using the energy to run a hydrogen production
unit that produced enough fuel for the farm vehicles and also to run a
generator when energy levels were particularly low.

The setup costs were very high, but as he is producing his own fuel it
is likely to pay back in 5 years.

2 panels fitted on the boat are still producing approx 90% after 15
years. The manual that came with them stated they would loose approx
1% per year.

I would expect it would depend on the quality of the panels in the
first place.

Until it comes time to replace/dispose of the batteries. Hey,if you
want to throw away $thousands of dollars on windmills(bird
cuisanarts),solar cells,storage batteries and hydrogen production
units be my guest if it makes you sleep better at night. Just don't
try and tell other people how to run their lives.

"Mistake" ?? In some states they are mandatory.


http://www.wboc.com/story/18598712/mandatory-smart-meters-cause-debate-in-maryland

DELMAR, Md.- In Delaware, power customers do not have a choice when it
comes to smart meters. They are promoted by power companies as a way
to save electricity and money through better monitoring. But in
Maryland, it is a different story.

Some argue that the meters are just plain dangerous.

Please be more careful in sniping and attributions. FWIW I agree with you
on the up hill/down hill but that depends on where you live some parts of
the country there is no useful up or down hill. As example most of the
coastal land south of I10 the change in elevation is ~ 10ft per 100 miles
some <10ft / 200 miles.

That said there are many proven engineering options that do well to store
energy.

Batteries wear out but don't go away. Properly managed they can last 50
years or more. It's standard industry practice with telecommunications
systems to replace batteries at the 30 year mark.

Even so when the are stone dead they can be recycled and the material used
to make new batteries.

Even auto batteries where folk are charged a core charge have a salvage
value in excess of the core fee.

Robert W Westergom (59 years old)
Erika Westergom (Borders in Chestnut Hill, PA)
1900 Harvey Rd
Wilmington, DE 19810

She claims to live in Philly but has never posted from Philly. She
mainly posts from a Delaware Public Library or a Barnes & Noble in the
Wilmington, DE, area using free wifi. She also uses free Google
Groups on a borrowed laptop. In her entire life she has contributed
absolutely nothing to society. Lies frequently but after many
beatings has become another usenet zoo monkey. Liars, once they have
been exposed, frequently revert to behavior most similar to a zoo
monkey who sits in the cage throwing feces at passersby but saying
nothing of value. Note that when you reply to a Proven Liar you
encourage them to continue lying.
