He wasn’t a finance guy, thinking “I’m going to make money.” It’s expensive and my clients don’t finance.

He was a geek.

My new solar system only needs to be 2 kilowatts now instead of 4 – which is good because solar’s still too damn expensive and the process for putting AB 811 financing in place is taking too damn long, (and that’s another Greenius post that I’m still working on). The Big Dick Cheney Effect.

If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Why grant them the privledge to spend our money in the first place?
