I’d like to know how many kids are killed in the making of my solar panels as I preach about saving life’s from the warming of the earth
For me it's about not paying an electric bill. I'm also not a fan of all the Mercury released into the environment by burning coal. Those are my two big concerns.I’d like to know how many kids are killed in the making of my solar panels as I preach about saving life’s from the warming of the earth
Rocket Lab has 33% efficient, radiation hardened solar cells that can be installed like a roll of carpet.Now if only we could find an outfit that will sell the gear outright rather than retain ownership while "renting" your roof.
Two valid reason! Though does the amount of environmental damage extracting materials for solar vs coal plus the waste of each really equate to a benifit- we won’t know cause every one can manipulate data and numbers to there ideology-For me it's about not paying an electric bill.

Study after study has found solar makes much more energy than they take to produce. I have a hard time believing there is any comparison to the overall environmental effect of coal vs solar. I didn't do numbers, but if you compete the energy produced by a solar panel over say a 25-30 year lifespan, vs just the pile of coal ash and mercury left over if done with coal.Two valid reason!

I am not knocking solar either I am trying to sell them in my area and I have them also- though the system was free from a removal…Study after study has found solar makes much more energy than they take to produce.

I am certainly not a fan of China . There are many other manufacturers of solar panels come including ones that are made in North America. You can complain about china people for buying stuff from them, but how much stuff do YOU have that was made in China? How come the guy who has a solar system with solar panels made in China gets ragged on but you don't for your Milwaukee tools?
Well you are complaining about people buying solar panels from China, but you yourself buy a bunch of stuff from china, come on man...
But once again was not directing it towards anyone here just a statement.
Was directing it towards customers I have lol
I told you why it’s the warming people—- the title of the post “ will tarifs kill solar”Well you are complaining about people buying solar panels from China, but you yourself buy a bunch of stuff from china, come on man.
Now see we must have a different demographic-In my experience, very few people buy solar for environmental reasons. As far as solar sales people, of course they are going to hype it up for one reason or another, anyone in sales in any industry is going to do that, that's what sales is. People just love to pick on solar it's nuts. Love how the auto sales guy selling people is $80,000 ridiculous truck doesn't get picked on![]()
Sales man I hate- but that why they have more money than me I won’t up sale a service if not needed. I don’t like to waist people money—- if it’s any condolence- I hate Real-estate sales man more than solar lolIn my experience, very few people buy solar for environmental reasons.

The solar I have put in for people were not cause they wanted to be self sufficient- they wanted to lower there carbon footprint to save the plant. While there driving an old Volkswagen that get like 10MPG so u hope you see why I get a little jaded
you sound like my wife! I am sure there is thing that annoy you that people do that I just would ignore? This is mine!Why are you so concerned about these people and their beliefs and choices? People make all sorts of irrational and illogical choices on any number of things. Personally I don't have the timer energy to obsess and worry about other people's choices.
I admit it is hard not to complain about things sometimes. I complain about the NEC and cmp's a lot...BUT ...that is stuff that affects me and my customers directly.you sound like my wife! I am sure there is thing that annoy you that people do that I just would ignore? This is mine!
I get your point. Your are probably more mature than me !

Kind of what NAFTA was touted to be but ended up being something totally different than what was promised.The US should have a zone with Canada Mexico, and Belize allowing free trade and free movement of labor. Then use a joint 'force' to secure the southern border with Guatemala.
