This web sight does a great job getting the message out about: How bad is cap and trade. I support a national sales tax, pollution surcharge and recently added a FAT tax. People get to make choices; government must help fund fuel cells and superconductors and clean water. It is not like they can keep this game up as gas is going to sell for $7.50 / gal in 10 years. But with cars that run on hydrogen (fuel cell) and liquid nitrogen (Superconductor Motor) and plug in the batteries, we cut pollution by transportation 40%. Our solar collectors and plugged in car make us money and top $ on peak. Wind is used to make hydrogen along with concentrating solar.

We are on the edge of winning the Pepsi RefreshEverything competition with our entry. If we do we'll train young people how to operate CNG & LNG fuel stations.

The latest petition " Energy indepenence now petition" is a new one we all need to sign.

Please take a second to do it.
Thanks for all you are doing as the labor continues!

Best; Tom

Akeena Solar, a designer and installer of solar power systems plan to sell panels at Lowe’s stores in California. Akeena, based in Los Gatos, stocked 21 Lowe’s stores with its Andalay AC panels that can be bought in packages that include built-in inverters, wiring and racking systems.

“This is a brand-new way for homeowners to get solar.”

Does anyone have any positive or negative comments in reference to the above? I’ve personally been waiting for a DIY to stock solar. I Plan to add a few solar panels then continue to add as needed until I’m sustainable. I haven’t gone to Lowe’s yet to qualify any possible caveats - Sounds too easy.

ENERGY MATTERS
Renewable energy. Energy-efficient homes. Green vehicles. It’s all about energy.
Making Solar Electricity Affordable

Many people who are contemplating installing solar electric systems on their homes struggle with the high initial costs.
To pay for a system, they either have to dip into their savings or take out a loan.
A 3- to 5-kW grid-connected solar system, suitable for most homes, can run $30,000 to $50,000.
Even with recent legislation that provides a 30 percent tax credit for solar and wind systems for homes and businesses,
the cost of such as system will still cost $21,000 to $30,000, which is a substantial piece of change.
Isn’t there some way to reduce this cost?
There is. It's called efficiency.
Richard Perez, founder of Home Power magazine, ran the numbers.
He found that every dollar invested in energy efficiency could reduce the cost of a photovoltaic (PV) system by $3 to $5.
How?
By reducing the size of a system one must install to meet his or her needs.
The economic savings from efficiency are quite substantial. For instance,
a $2,000 investment in home energy efficiency — for example, weatherization, insulation and energy-efficient compact fluorescent or
LED light bulbs — will reduce the demand for electricity. This, in turn, will reduce the size of the PV system required to meet one’s needs.
It could easily save $6,000 to $10,000 on the cost of the system of a 3- to 5-kW PV system before tax incentives.
Taking into account the 30% federal tax credit, the savings would be $4,200 to $7,000.
Spend a little more on efficiency and the cost of the system drops even more. If you invested $4,000 in efficiency,
the total system cost would decline by $12,000 to $20,000.
Taking into account the federal tax credits once again and the decrease in initial cost would be $8,400 to $14,000.
That’s not a bad return on an investment in efficiency.
Instead of spending $21,000 to $30,000 for a system, you’d pay $12,600 to $16,000.
So, if you're thinking about installing a PV system, think efficiency first. It’s a gift you give yourself and the planet.
It will reduce energy demand, reduce pollution, and reduce the cost of a system substantially.
Moreover, the savings will provide dividends for the life of the house.
