Post 43 hero. You said it not me. It's not free and now you want to backtrack and call names and scream and whine like every other "green" hero. You tried to pretend that all we have to do is let the sun shine on us all and all will be well. You go tell the folks who froze in the little ice age about your lunatic ideas. Oops they all froze. Now like I said go out and suntan in the middle of winter in Montana and get warm sun lover.
Jesus Christ..... Sun light is free.... You don't have to pay to stand outside in the sun.....

What is so hard to understand that sun light is free while building the solar panels and grid isn't.... Seriously take your medications, this is embarrassing you don't know the difference between sun light and the equipment used to turn it into usable energy. Kansas should be ashamed.

As usual, you read the headlines and jump to conclusions.
..... Again learn the difference between sun light and solar panels...... This isn't rocket science folks..... Sun light is free.... Wind is free..... This...isn't... that.... hard to follow.

How about you stop being dishonest and putting words in my mouth and I wouldn't have to call you a liar?

I've never suggested sunlight wasn't free.

I did comment in response to a "wait until the liberals try and tax it" post with evidence that at least three jurisdictions are trying to tax anyone who uses solar panels as a mechanism to offset reduced revenues to the power companies.

You said it not me. So is "sun light's cost is free" true or not? You tell me how it's free and get back to me cause I would like to know how to power my home for free.

So you don't want to admit you're a dishonest poster who puts words in my mouth:


Well here is what I actually said:

As for TRULY endless sunlight....

Pace of technology is interesting.
BUT by all means keep being a liar and pretending ignorance (or maybe you arent pretending). So try as you will..... SUN LIGHT is free.... solar panels are not..... BUT please keep it up. Only makes you look like a fool.

Then why did you respond to me directly when I am arguing against a brick wall (KUChief) and the hyper-partisan Glutch about sun light being free.

Of course solar power will be taxed..... all power is taxed..... Why would it be any different?
