When are the police not preparing for civil unrest? Haven’t you seen Police Academy the movie?

[quote=macromaniac]Just a basic question? How many people plan on living in their homes for 25 years? Can I see a show of hands anyone?[/quote]

(also raises hand — that is, when I finally pull the trigger).

Part of the problem is that houses (and everything else we buy) have become throwaway commodities, no different than the Starbucks cup sitting in the holder of your brand new car that you’re going to trade in in 2 years. Tired of your current house? No problem! Throw it away and buy a new one! When things are treated like trash, they become just that — worthless trash.

[quote=Butleroftwo]When do you suppose the solar industry will be able to go at it alone? We have been subsidizing them since Carter and still they are too expensive to compete. When people say they don’t pay an electric bill after installing solar they neglect to mention the $30K capital investment.[/quote]

The government has been doing a lot more subsidizing of the oil industry over the decades than it has the solar industry. How do you think we are paying $2/gallon when the rest of the world is paying $6/gallon? That is socialism.

So if you’re looking for an answer as to why solar is not affordable in this day and age: your socialist government propping up a century-old business model with an imperialistic military that uses over 50% of the national budget in order to secure your beloved crude.

If we were paying the true un-subsidized price for oil, alternative energy would be a lot more competitive.

I suppose the national highway system is socialism too?
