http://www.boernestar.com/news/artic...cc4c002e0.html If my math is correct it will be paid for in 68 years................I wonder if the solar panels will last that long? When will we stop all of this nonsense?

When the creeks flow red with water polluted from acid mine waste.
Oh, that already has been happening in Oklahoma.
When the more and more people develop asthma and respiratory diseases.
Oh, that's already happening.
When more and more people have little to no access to potable water.
Oh, that's already happening. ( a poor woman in India will spend 8 hours a day walking....walking in search of water.)

Are you sure you are on the right thread? This is sarcasm right? Your post has nothing to do with, the irresponsible waste of taxpayer dollars in the name of the environment. poor woman India...............??????? Please start a thread about that poor woman in India........I would love to educate you on that.
If the green business is such good business and had practical applications a private business would have already picked it up and ran with it. They are just not practical.
I recently had a quote done for solar panels and even with the 30% federal tax credit and a local utility refund it will take at least 15 yrs. to reach even pay-back on a 4Kw ground mount system. The factory warranty is 5 yrs.
No, we should certainly keep running cars on oil as the price goes up (it is a limited resource eventually) so we can bankrupt ourselves sending more money to unfriendly governments to make them rich. We should certainly stop funding new green technology, like printable plastic backed panels, that in the lab currently can be printed out and used for $1 a watt (15x cheaper then current, or recoup cost 4.5 years from your boast).

You know, when cars first came out, they got horrible gas mileage, ran poorly, and not many people owned them.
Guess what happened after the Model T made it affordable for every person?

I can't find the article any more, but there was an Arizona high school that was boasting of getting federal and state grants to install two $275,000 solar arrays, because they said it would save them $500 a moth on electricity bills during the school year. It would take over 80 years to break even, and those solar arrays will be lucky to last twenty years.
Spread the wealth around so we can live high now, and let our grandchildren pay the piper later.
