Got a picture from a buddy who lives in Burien WA. They are getting quite a snow today.

 

Little chinesium generator been humming away all day to keep the fridge, TV and wifi on. Fire in the fireplace to stay warm. It aint all bad.

Drove around some and it looks like a frozen war zone haha. Trees and power lines down everywhere.

I think when I buy a house here soon I wanna look into a solar setup. Maybe not to power the whole house, but the furnace and some appliances would be nice. Also with the .gov incentives to go to solar it would be a no brainer especially on a home that already needs a little work.

 

Do solar panels work when covered in ice?

 

One of my friends nearby actually gets credits from her solar setup. She often produces more electricity than she uses.

 

Look into the Tesla Powerwall, I've heard good things about it except the initial price. The nice thing is you can basically live off the grid, it would make a good investment with a solar system.

 

ridiculous

 

You give us too much credit for what we find interesting

 

I'm south of Burien by only a little ways... Definitely more snow than we usually get

 

Or build your own. Fuck that elon guy, no reason to give him more money

 

I’m one of those people that would try to build their own. The one thing Tesla has going for them is their battery technology, they’re years ahead of most other competitors.

 

Tesla is no where near as big a name out here as it is where you are. Id go with someone local most likely.

 

Throw some windshield de-icer in a weed sprayer and hose em down.

 

Oh yea, sorry I forgot you're a musk kool-aid drinker. I'll shut up. But you're smart enough to understand the only reason his battery technology is "better" is because he makes them larger. His cells have no more energy density than a Samsung or a Panasonic cell.


I'm not being mean to you, I just really hate that man

 

Hey... I get to see his rockets explode in person

Hes pretty cool

 

Well that’s one unique way to say that haha

 

I'll admit seeing that in person would be really cool

 

"Lithium batteries are great!"

The slaves in the lithium mines on the other side of the planet probably dont think that.

 

No, no they do not. Lithium mining is so horrible for the environment, as well as horrible for human well-being.


But we need to advance our economy
