and the power is generated right where it is needed, so no wilderness is killed, no families are forced from their homes for the thousands of miles of new powerlines these mercenaries in Industrial Wind and Industrial solar are trying to force down our throats, and it is OWNED BY A PERSON, NOT A MONOPOLY. this story is a good starting point for people to recognize the drastic differences between Renewable Power (which doesn't kill ecosystems like our deserts) and FAKE renewable power which destroys 50 acres of open space per megawatt (Big Wind), sucks millions of gallons of water a year (Concentrated Solar), usually burns natural gas (Concentrated Solar) and requires GHG-spewing powerlines that cause wildfires, destabilize our grid and deny US the resources to generate our own power.
microwind and rooftop solar could easily be made affordable to all of us with a few simple policy shifts, which have been successful in 40 countries already: Feed in Tariffs, so we get paid for power we produce and do not consume; guaranteed financing attached to our property taxes; and generous subsidies and incentives to get the ball rolling. Big Energy enjoys all these perqs, plus has the power of eminent domain and gets our public land free or cheap. time to level the playing field!
Totally cool, but I sure would have liked to know the cost.
Is it very affordable for the average family or like solar panels exceptionally expensive? Every home being built today in the Southwest should be required to have solar panels.
Happy ..... Happy to see people like Jay Leno or anyone else who has the money to promote clean renewable energy... showing a new direction.
It is difficult for this to happen with the propaganda and repression going on everyday from oil, coal and nuclear industries. It is like trying to change the course of the Titanic...But there are a few heroes who are trying to do just that. Hurray for them!
CHEERS to Jay Leno and the many other celeb's helping promote renewable energy technologies. Imagine if every skyscraper in a major city were to install one of these systems on top of their buildings combined with a small green roof system. It might not change the world, but it's a pretty good start.
