Participant[quote=afx114]… the point of rebates and incentives on things like this (whether you’re rich or poor or live in a big house or small) is to get the ball rolling in a new industry.[/quote]
With oil at $200/barrel there are sufficient incentives built into the economics of the situaion.
With oil at $40, it is pushing on a rope, not getting the ball rolling.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=macromaniac]afx,
It may be a problem but it is a reality and that is why I ask this question to people here regarding someone living in their home long enough to justify this type of expenditure even with the subsidy.
Folks, this is not your Father’s Olds. Better get used to being mobile because the job world is changing and that very rapidly. Sure, my parents and your parents probably worked at the same company or 3 at most for the duration of their lives. I am afraid to say that this is not the case anymore.
We are moving toward a mobile society with a lot of freelancers and consultants. Corporate Life has sucked the life and money and trust out of people and this will affect how we work for more than a few years moving forward especially if Globalism continues to spread wider and further….
There is no stability in a corporate job anymore no matter where you live and if I am still in this forum posting 25 years from now, I am sure most people will not be living in the same home.
Just my view…subject to being wrong.

SDR posted awhile ago about how such alternative energy updates could be paid by a loan from the county, which you pay back as a form of taxes on your property tax bill. In that case, if you don’t live in the same home for 25 years, the next buyer contains to pay the assessment

[/quote]I don’t disagree with that at all.
What I disagree with is your assumption that one must MOVE to switch jobs. That is true if you work in a factory or some other widget-producing job where you had to haul your arse and your lunchpail in to brick-and-mortar location every day.
But as you say, this is a new age. Most of the consultants that I know can work from home and they don’t even need to be in the same state as the company or companies they are supporting!
Shoot, I have people in my group who telecommute from Oregon and Washington! They come to San Diego once or twice a month to get a little face time and the rest of the time, they live where they damn well please!
THAT is the future, my friend. THAT is what the internet has brought.
