I'm surprised you didn't get solar Phil? It was well worth the investment especially with the tax credits. I own my system and the ROI was expected to be about 8 years. But with the never ending increases from APS ( they don't effect me) I figure 6.5 years now. My electricity costs are about .55/day.
Given all the high profile nonsense and literal yelling about how wind and solar are to blame for failing Texas, I think a little snark is appropriate. Seems pretty timid in comparison, no?
Yes and yes.
The same way you pay for an event that does happen. Sounds like the recommendations and warnings were there early enough that it would not have been a big deal to pay for. You're talking like it would have cost an arm and a leg to meet 'par' for the rest of the country. How do they pay for it?
Starting to think you didn't see the video. Think there were 350 pages of recommendations to prepare for this specific type of event and that it was basically expected to happen.
The same things that have to go into winterizing them everywhere else I suppose.
Canada's a cool place. I lived in Oakville & area for a long time and have friends in Calgary.
Sounds good to me! I just found it hard to ignore some of the repeated misinformation that gets posted by others and so I responded to it. The video just seemed relevant to some of it.
Hi Dave,I'm surprised you didn't get solar Phil? It was well worth the investment especially with the tax credits. I own my system and the ROI was expected to be about 8 years.

Up here in the NE we get to pick who we want to purchase power from. One of the choices is solar. It costs .16 more per kWh though. I drive by turbines all the time around here that are not in use. ??
The key is getting the right company as there are so many "fly by nighters" out here. I was lucky and got a really good small company and upgraded my panels (LG panels) and micro inverters so I have less panels on my roof but they produce more than 4 other companies quotes. Mine does 100% of my needs so my average bill is $16-$17/month. I asked them about potential future roof repairs and they said they'll just come back and take them down and reinstall them IIRC it was under $1,000 which isn't that bad.
Good idea! Add mini panels to the roof and the damper will raise and lower them to the angle of the sun as you drive.

I just don't know what to say to that...Did I talk about flatearth crackheads? ...
that hurts!
Don't be so arrogant and naive. The US doesn't have a monopoly on fringe lunatics. Heck Texas doesn't either.
