I wouldn't object to close the city and county buildings one day a week as well. Again extending the day by an hour so we can still serve the residents.

Let's cut the school week to 4 days!!!! Maybe extend the school day by one hour and we wouldn't need to extend the school year.

Controls have been known to break circuit. Who will fix? Panels must be cleaned of dirt, dust, bird droppings, branches... multiple times a year. How is access? Will panels be mounted on a roof? Then panels must be removed to repair or replace roof. They are not plug n' play forever, far from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-14698494099573804722008-07-22T12:27:00.000-07:002008-07-22T12:27:00.000-07:00No worries.

It depends on the increased cost of electricity. Consider Texas. I think the numbers are getting close and could be quite good for a DYIer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095741888771357084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-60582027249367592662008-07-19T07:32:00.000-07:002008-07-19T07:32:00.000-07:00It has always amazed me how intellectuals can igno...It has always amazed me how intellectuals can ignore even the simplest of calculations.
