ParticipantCAR, did you skip over the class size point on purpose or accident? You’re comparing apple to oranges. Why not compare well off areas vs good private schools? Again, the class size is still smaller for private school vs the public school in rich areas and some are charging less than we are paying per student in public school.

Participant[quote=threadkiller]The fuel cell is definitely intriguing. My concern would be contamination of catalyst and the cost of gases used to purge system between cycles. I would like to see how it works in the real world over say more than a year or so.[/quote]

Participant[quote=Jacarandoso]I think, maybe hope or guess,that solar is now on the right track with cost benefit though. I think it’s worth doing taking the reasonable assumption that electrical charges (no pun intended) are going to go up.[/quote]
With all the money being put in to R&D to find a better greener energy source, solar might turn out to be a waste of money in the near future. Especially if Bloom Energy and the like get down to the residential level. Bloom Energy already have a few big names as customers (Google, Ebay, FedEx, Walmart). They say they’re saving much more with it than solar and its footprint is much smaller too.July 31, 2011 at 12:52 AM in reply to: Solar Energy, what is the actual cost and how long will it take to recoupe cost #714017an
