You know, when you first started posting, you seemed like a nice guy. But now you just act like a grown up baby. And you have flip-flopped more than the democrats on Iraq, or drilling for oil.
In post 44 you said:
Indicating a support for other utility customers paying you.
Then in post 49 you said:
Again, attempting to justify an unequal tax system that rewards some and punishes others.
In post 60, you said:
This time claiming everyone can do it, and at the same time supporting raising everyone else's electric bill to support your purchase.
Then in post 61, you start the personal insults:
Ironically claiming you didn't get a rebate or subsidy, which means my comment wasn't directed at you. Yet, you get all bent and start acting like a 10-year-old who was told he had to do his homework.
Now you claim you paid for everything yourself with no rebates or subsidies, but then you openly state that you own your own contruction firm, with an electrical engineer to design your own system, and you'll have your employees build your home.
So which is it... are you getting rebates or not? Is the electric company going to pay you by raising other peoples bills or not? Are you being subsidized or not? Can everyone afford this solar system or just owners of construction firms with friends who are electrical engineers? ... I just can't see why everyone doesn't own a construction firm and have elctrical engineer friends to build solar systems for them....
You can always tell a intellectually bankrupt person when they start off with personal attacks, especially when they have no clue who they are talking to, and just make broad assumptions. No, I didn't. In fact I included that in every calculation.
I quote myself:
I used the national average because it's what most of use pay. If you have a special location, feel free to tell me. Texas charges on average, 9.16¢/kWh.
Let us pretend that my electric bill is $200/mo. My system would produce 775 kWh/month. That would reduce my electric grid usage by... 775 kWh a month which is $76.42. My new lower electric bill would be... $123.58. So... again I spent $166.66, to reduce my electric bill by $76.42. Moving on.
I'll tell you what isn't my American dream. It's not to get a bunch of stuff and objects, and have everyone else pay for those objects, and after living for 70 years turn into a bitter old crotchety man who comes across like a 10 year-old having a temper tantrum and thinking he's somehow 'owed' something. Some people don't mature their whole life. Grow up.
IF (<--- note the word 'if') ...the federal government says it needs money to spend on alternative energy sources such as rebates which go to idiots with solar panels... then yeah, they are taking from me. I pay tax just like everyone else.
