Electricity control was one of the favorite things for the communists to do, coupled with food rationing and travel restrictions.
I lived 12 years under communism and I tell you the level of control these guys are goanna try to exert on the America people will fill any communist full of envy.

so the talk was just gossip?
 Quoting: tigerchuen


I wouldn't say that. It is just my opinion that free energy is fairly expensive in reality. Most of the true forms of electricity are on a far bigger scale than what a capitalist system would like to have.

Don't get me wrong because we are working on technology to remove the dependency of 'fossil' fuels. But let us be realistic and understand that nothing will truly ever be free.

... nuclear plants started out as a way for the government to have a steady supply of material for nuclear weapons ...
.
... nuclear "energy" was SOLD to the public as a cheap, clean fuel ...
.
... then the "energy" took on a life of it's own! ... after the military moved on to other ways of effective killing ...

Well, I wasn't really talking about the housing situation, but I see your point. Its all about going back to grass roots once the 21st century lifestyle finally comes crashing down and how a person will adapt to such a drastic change. Read up, enlighten yourself on how, why and where, plan and experiment for the future changes. That way, you'll make it out of the cities, find a place, join up with like minded people, defend that place and eventually prosper together.

 Quoting: Nazca


thats high i have a 2/2 with a hot tub on 24/7, computer on 24/7, three video cameras covering front and back 24/7 and the air on 77 and mine is 90 a month.

if i got rid of the hot tub and kept the computer off it would be even less.

that seems very high.
 Quoting: thetrickybigguy


here in phx it can easily reach 300/mo for a 2/2

easily

not a reach at all

those with larger families and therefore homes 400-500/mo is not out of the question

. . . we need to learn how to make fans work, and only if you feel like youare going to die do you put on theair conditioner . . . This was my first summer to do that, and itis working out darn good, not to mention all the fresh air i got for the first time in years.

Window-exhaust fans with interior, floor/and/or ceiling fans is the secret to cooling all natural like . . . However you do have to know how to do it right . . . in order to make it work really good . . .

They will out last me and honestly that's all I care about.

Panels will last 30 years, batteries about 10 then I'll have to replace them but that's only a few hundred. Inverter and charge controller can last as long as the panels.

PS It's also worth noting this is due to voluntary plant closures... doesn't sound too doomy really.
 Quoting: Least Servant


OK a little background on these cheap coal power plants. They are very old, they were cheap to build when built, but they have to be maintained to keep operating. Any machine needs regular maintenance and occasional replacement of parts, sometimes big parts.

There is an existing law called "new source review". You get to maintain your old plants, but you don't get to build new ones. But then they started saying that certain major maintenance activities constituted making a "new" plant. This interpretation comes and goes. One of the good things about Bush is he decided to ignore new source review and let the power companies maintain and even upgrade their plants. Now with Obama, I'm sure he is cracking down and trying to drive these plants out of business.

Is it really voluntary closures, or closures because the required maintenance is no longer allowed? I have my suspicion ...
