And what I think is about the saddest part of "green" energy, is that they're not even going about it properly, they're stuck on the idea of massive centralized production and distribution plants - gobbling up acres of farm or wildland for solar panels or windmills, with all the inefficiencies that goes with that ... these things are better being distributed; that is, houses, apartment buildings, and businesses retro-fitted with this stuff/built new with this stuff being as much of a given as wiring itself is, all connected to the existing Grid. You'd still need existing power plants, but 1) having your own production system would take pressure off those things as the population keeps stubbornly growing and 2) since excess power being fed into the grid makes YOU money, well, it can eventually pay for itself in the long run.

I think it would have been better all around if the money spent on megaprojects had been directed to getting homeowners and businesses to do it this way.

And yes, I will want to 100% do up like this, if/when we get a house, whether anyone is going to help us or not.

Say, did anyone else get to watch that Michael Moore expose on the matter? Planet of the Humans, YT went apeshit and banned it.
