We already have more business than we need. For me, it's like the moment in Forrest Gump when shrimpin got good. The fact we are one of the only solar installers around that can install whole home generators because we have a full time master plumber on staff also helps a lot. |

User ID: 84257938 United States11/20/2022 07:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Biden just went to California and announced he will shut down coal plants all across America Quoting: Fir3fly [link to godlike.com (secure)] I fervently hope that the dimwits that actually cast ballots for dimocrats (there must've been at least a few real votes cast for these dipshits) suffer more than the rest of us when the lights go out and the store shelves are empty. I think most of the sane Americans (a shrinking minority)have at least some preparations ready for food and energy shortages and won't be as badly hurt as the dumb fucks in cities and blue strongholds. If spring rolls around and we find out that the blue voters killed each other or vaxxed themselves into the beyond, it's going to be pretty difficult to mourn their loss. |

The complete system includes a fossil fuel powered generator for when the rest of it is tapped out. That's the part the green weenies don't understand. |

But a sitting POTUS would never do that, would they? Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |

For some, 45/50 would be a huge shock.. 1330 people die of freezing to death per year in the US. |

I just had a 24KW Generac installed at my house. I put all my electronics on UPS backups for the 15 second delay when a grid failure occurs. Next phase is to put in 100+ KWH of Generac Powercells and 5-6KW of solar panels to keep them charged and sell back to the grid when not in use. |

Keep Texas Free! User ID: 83969981 United States11/20/2022 08:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is NO shortage of NatGas. There are 5 wells on my property alone sitting idle. Texas could power the World, if they would let us. Quoting: Wingnut1234 Take a look at Google Earth around Donie, Tx. Those little white squares are all NatGas wells, ready to produce. Controlled demolition. Oh, I concur. For sure. Back in the 1990s- 2000's, I built power plants. By the end of it, (2008,Obama) a crew of about 300 people would have a 1100 MW NatGas plant built, from breaking ground to online, in 2 years. We could do that now, easily. But windmills, solar, and Unicorn farts are gonna save us all. Pshah |

I'm subject to the same however, for better or for worse, I didn't play the game. I have different areas of building anger, which bleed-through with everyone elses.... |
