The White House itself once harvested the power of the sun. On June 20, 1979, the Carter administration installed 32 panels designed to harvest the sun's rays and use them to heat water.
Here is what Carter predicted at the dedication ceremony: "In the year 2000 this solar water heater behind me, which is being dedicated today, will still be here supplying cheap, efficient energy . A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people."
Stupid misinformed fuckwad
We can thank Reagan for removing it for no effin reason. Don't blame Carter for that. The good news is solar is far, far more advance today and it is far from a joke!
It is a joke
I am staying at a bb this evening in maine
Lady tells me shes off the grid! Now she has to pay off the 67k loan
Hopefully i will get some sleep tonight
She said because of rain last few days she has to run the fucking generator to make hot water to do laundry
The damn thing has been running and farting and belching ozone for three fucking hours now
Its right outside my window!
I asked her what she paid for that monstronsity and that was only 10k
If i want to take a shower tonight it will take 10 minutes for the water to heat up and travel 200 yards from the well
Take your solar power and shove it up your ass
If she is off the grid by choice, then that was a bad decision. A grid tied system allows the best of both worlds. And if you add a battery backup, spendy, but doable, you have a bulletproof system.
