Solar Stunner: America is a $1.9 Billion Exporter of Solar Products

So you didn't get your Rent Vouchers yet and apparently blame it on exporting solar technology?
This is what I get from your rant.
There is a far greater evil in this world right now.
SELF-ABSORPTION

Lighten up, G_M.
We are not out to get you.
Sorry if I blasphemed Jehovah, not known for his sense of humor.
If I were a "favorite" around here my score would be above 200.
So exactly WHAT are you talking about?
BTW I didn't vote you down but I really felt like it.

You exercised great restraint, surely a great Virtue.

As for the rent vouchers I've given up on them a LONG TIME AGO. I'm a single old guy ready for the internment people ya know. There's others even if they are behind me, they have children. But I point it out because it's so STUPID, because if I had a break on the rent I could pay to have my car painted and maybe new tires or something, so any money they "give me" goes straight into some younger man's paycheck.

I thought that was the objective. Perhaps I need to go back to Capitalist School. But since the Commonwealth of Virginia is obviously an outpost of the Soviet Union and everybody sets their fees to their Group Plan, so that all fees stay elevated after a 30 year RECESSION, apparently they have no idea how to operate by the Capitalist playbook.

And since the soul-negative doctors have decided to withhold every medical care that would get me back to work I sit in shame drawing a disability check that HAD I HAD PROPER MEDICAL ATTENTION no one would be paying my way for me.

That's how Virginia works. They want a certain number of people to be stuck on disability at any given time. It helps THEM feel good how nice they are to the rejects who don't deserve nuthin'. At least that's all I've been able to figure out after 22+ years. If someone shoots me some proof I'm wrong I'll be glad to stand down.

I seriously need medical and dental attention too but can't afford it.
I guess my point is, WTF does this have to do with solar energy?
Please, g_m, stick to the story!

I would also like to know why it is after I post on Current threads the Viewer count stops? Why are my posts feared? Why are my energy solutions censored here?

Perhaps it's a problem with your PC. Mine does strange stuff like that sometimes.
I always enjoy your perspective even when I don't agree.
I don't see any censorship going on here.

No, I have not done that. I always figured you were as powerless as I was actually. I have noticed you are joining sides with the Big Solutions & that spells big money corporations.

I still know how to add 2 + 2 Jan. You took a swing to the other side, and now you try to turn it into a personal thing as most women do. Suit yourself, but plugging those solar towers that still LEAVES AMERICANS GETTING A MONTHLY BILL looks suspicious, and I said so, and I'll still say so when I see it happen, whether it comes from you or anyone else.

Obviously I'm not a recruiter because I don't have any recruits. But you jumped on the corporate answer bandwagon. If I saw you do that then everyone else also saw it.

If one of those solar towers was sitting near your place and a storm went thru AS JUST HAPPENED taking down powerlines you'd still be without electricity.

That's why REMOTE SOURCE POWER IS WRONG. Powerlines are the weak link in the chain that needs to be done away with, PERIOD. Home-generated power is the only answer, whether it's one of mine or someone else's invention that's used to have it..

Jan your deal with Mr. Gore is the least bit my business UNLESS it becomes obvious you're changing courses and he has changed courses also. If the two of ya are just T. Boone Pickens wannabees supporting remote power then YOU'RE BOTH A FAIL.

Same thing as that Canada-Louisiana oil pipeline same difference, oil flowing through a breakable pipe or electric power flowing through breakable powerlines over breakable telephone poles now being repaired by breakable repairmen after electrocuting a child and an adult who were alse breakable and are now dead.

Remote power is Yesterday's Answer.

Great news!
I was not aware of this. I will become more involved by writing letters and calling my representatives here in Pittsburgh urging action on this fantastic idea in my community.
We need more stories like this to fight dispair and futility.
Thank you!

Another Washington Monument to be cracked? Oh well. It's only costing 3/4 of a Billion Dollars.

Yep. Good riddance to all of em. Poor technologies need to die the death. Whatever made it across their plates from an ad in the back of a COMIC BOOK. SOLAR IS A POWERFUL ENERGY, fools rushed in with their Daddy's bankrolling them, Get Rich Easy entrepreneur fools looking for the quick easy buck.

Not the best technology just whatever multiplies fast as flies HAHAHA BUT THIS TIME THEY GOT FOOLED: GOOD => GOOD, GOOD, GOODIE GOOD GOOD.

Thanks for the list Merrill. Those are the same suckers who fall for Dunkin' Donut Franchise purveyors/pushers. Then they find out the monthly franchise fee could choke most foreign countries. They deserved to go down if that's all the best their brain could work.

all because the subsidies were cut in Europe and in large markets of America. Here is a suggestion; the coal and natural gas industries see solar as a market rival. They have lobbied hard here and abroad to kill subsidies as it also cuts into theirs subsidies. So...electric companies who were giving subsidies cut them because of the strong arm of coal and natural gas. Many of the large electric want this market for themselves. Follow the money. Solar companies who try to start up are fought tooth and nail. BTW Evergreen moved to China.....ain't the free market a grand thing.

The "strong arm" is a nice phrase NOW PUT SOME MEAT ON THAT ARM. The Oil, Coal & Natural Gas industries pay to share television ads so perhaps they pay Europe to drop subsidies eh? Or increase subsidies, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SQUASH SOLAR+GREENING OF AMERICA. Or can't you recognize your enemies by now? You should. Their pants'r stuffed with American dolares to fight against Americans!

Jesus. You people kill me. You're easier to roll over than a Tianenman Square tank. Subsidies aren't needed if the technology is right.

Do you have to subsidy donuts? No. If the product is right people buy it, if it isn't right they don't buy it, no matter what country it's from. 15 years after fighting Germans to the DEATH Americans were buying VW bugs like they had never before seen an automobile... because THEY LIKED IT.

You just can't man up and admit solar cells are garbage. They use precious metals we need IN OUR COMPUTERS. All they produce is trickle current, they last about 8+ years then die the death, and that isn't enough to challenge anybody, not Big Oil, not Big Coal, and certainly not take down Big Gas.

You need solar that works, and works, and works for 200 years, not 200 damn days, or weeks, whatever. Otherwise quit and walk off the field.

You're really bumming me out!

Don't be bummed. When all these garbage solar people finish doing to you the same thing Detroit does to you, THEN BE BUMMED.

Solar doesn't provide jobs if there isn't a market for the products. The government can't force markets. If and when the market is viable it will be successful.

"All because the subsidies were cut in Europe and in large markets of America."

Thank you for making my point. As soon as the government stopped propping up these failed companies they crumbled.

EXACTLY! And every time a Big Corporation muscles in & takes over the market the market may as well be considered to not exist. Corporate solutions make better solutions DISAPPEAR.

Corporations make markets disappear, which also makes Competition disappear. It's a big disappearing act, what I was trying to say to Jan too, once ya accept the wrong answers YOU MAY AS WELL TAKE A BAYONET TO THE RIBS BECAUSE IT'S ALL OVER.

Crude Oil more than likely, moving their Chess piece from old to new, same game, same loser US citizens. America is roasting under corporations, turned over a spit and spit on.

Thanks again Merrill. Same as Detroit. We're stuck every way to Sunday. The peon citizens get peed on and nothin's gonna change it.

Which is why most young people in America have thrown in the towel and decided to enjoy life inside a barrel of stinking garbage as best they can and play video games. They aren't stupid they're smart and they see THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS. AMERICA IS FINISHED.

Young people have no say in wars, no say in solar, no say in corporate decisions that determine how crappy their entire lives will be, they see it all. Blacks are the smartest of all and learn to "play the system" they realize they cannot change, get the Food Stamps, get the Child Care, get the anything they can, because that is actually THE SANE DECISION WHEN YA LIVE UNDER COMMUNIST RULES.

"We're doomed! We're stuck!"

I've been hearing this since the 60's. The people who use it as an excuse never get ahead. Those who tune it out and work hard succeed.

No doubt, superior man.

Gore is theoretically correct if he had my systems he would see a rocket ship go up. AS IT SHOULD. Wallpapering the country with solar cells & panels is a HAMMER ANSWER not the intelligent answer.

In a battle of hammers the Chinese win.

Gore should tear his hair out because this game is lost. I'm not doing so great today either. My ankle has messed up so I'm barely able to get around for lack of doctor care for 22+ years. So Gore is catching up to me I guess.

The screw is big enough for all of us. The race does not always go to the fastest. We're going down.

We're following the Somalis. It will be our turn faces in the cameras begging for aid. Hmm. Maybe Rush Limbaugh will help our women and children.

A little ego problem there, GM?

but Gore is very rich for playing the game...and his wealth grows with his carbon credits business among other interests.

I don't fault people for making money it's the only way to be in the game. That being said spending $1,000,000,000.00 on a solar tower that keeps people tethered to a monthly bill is hardly an answer. Their lives have not progressed because storm systems are more violent, which destroys the powerlines delivery system EASILY AND QUICKLY.

It's an answer that would satisfy NEANDERTHAL MAN. If we are progressing then I want to see no more powerlines. Obviously we're not progressing when the most vocal around here, JanForGore, falls for their corporate pinata.

No ego problem. Rush Limbaugh likes being jabbed in the ribs and typing his name is the only way he knows how much I appreciate ALL HIS EFFORTS TO HELP THE LITTLE GUY'S FAMILY. hehehehe

right? more bills yea! GMan is right in the fact that if we wanted to solve our energy issues we have the minds and resources to really do it. If JP Morgan hadn't discredited and stolen Teslas radiant energy towers that pulled from the natural energy flowing all around us we might have left that expense of living behind over 100 years ago.

PS: that is the same tech now being used against us around the world.

Sexy enough for me, but these days I am easy.

How bout -"Hot-n-bothered Face of America, Deeply Penetrated by Eruption of Solar Flare" !

p.s. Or
"Oooooooooooooh,.....that Hot Ol SUN, Its Soooooooooooo BIG" !

p.p.s. +^d

Good one!
:-D

Good one!
:-D

May we always have that even when surrounded by darkness.
