    No mention of the high cost to human life with solar. When you factor that in you'll realize that oil is the way to go.

    Most rural high schools have always had trap and target shooting clubs/classes.

    It is actually the safest high school sport by far.

    The true economics of Solar. For me at least.

    About $40K to install a solar system that will generate all the power you need, plus double that to sell back to the power company. Your payments will be about $400/month but you have no electric bill.

    When the power company changes its policy about buying back electricity at retail price (an unfair forcing of the company to subsidize solar), you will have your $400/month payment PLUS 1/2 a regular electric bill (e.g. what you use at night). The power company here already stopped buying back electricity generated.

    People installing solar are going to be fucked. Solar is effectively 150% the cost of electricity sold by the electric company. In my case, $400/month is higher than my actual bill, but might be worthwhile to assure my monthly cost never goes over $400 for a couple of decades.

    I cannot find a solar company that will install solar on my house. They say the economics doesn't support it.

    Club and Classes aren't the same as sports. You were the guy who bought a letterman jacket for chess club.

    I bought a solar panel from the power company on their grid for 1500....reduces my electric bill substantially...admittedly I have a small cabin and don't use a ton of electricity but for my needs..the solar investment has already almost paid itself off in savings.....it's very practical for lighting and appliances..probably not as good for a central heating unit....I use the woodstove for heat and an oil filled electric heater for the pump house and bathroom...I recommend supplementing your power grid with solar...

    It's because most tried selling leases on residential and are losing big time money. They come up with all the cost and need 7 years before they make profit on the houses. Total shitty business model unless you have money to float it for 8-10 years
