#1 US Secretary of State John Kerry is pushing Israel and the PA to reach a political settlement.

If I owe the power company, they collect ALL the bill, plus fees, and shut me off until paid.
Solar is the way to go, then they owe ME.

#2 How's that working James? Does Alabama have a feed in tariff? I'm not much for subsidizing other peoples power hobbies, but for you I will make an exception.

#3 Alabama is kinda backward, they don't have a rebate system, you have to sell back power at wholesale, piss poor return, (Unless you've got a HUGE solar array)In short, it's more economical to use the power myself.

So, I won't get rich off the power company, but they'll get rich off me, so I'll use the power myself. (For now). Maybe in the future I'll build that HUGE array?

On a personal note, I'm divorced, and 66 (She left me) and not that healthy, I'm physicly fit, but partly blind (in my right eye,) so work is slow, I'm waiting right now on weather, (It's Raining Here)

When the rain lets up, I'll build a solar collector rack, that's waiting right now and wire the rack to the batteries (Got AGM's) and then I'll have power, at the moment I don't (Well technically I do, I'm using an inverter off the car battery,but it's not permanent)

Then I can make progress, Maybe I'll post pictures as I go.

#6 Well, she hurt herself leaving me, I paid the rent and the power, so all in all, I'm ahead, she's blind as well, so neither of us was healthy, I'm setting a small house on inherited land, (My grandmothers land 10 acres,, Inherited through my mother So I'm set, I get a pension and a work-related pension of about $1350.00 per month, so I'm set right now I live in my mothers house, It's an older 4 bedroom 2 bath home, I live in one bedroom) it's complicated. (Costs me about 4300.00 to live here, car's paid for and i'm a master mechanic, so all is well)I commute daily about 15 miles so gsas is a big expense.
