Man Trin you are set up there for a nice life now. To replicate that, I'd have to swap out my crummy 6.5 kW gasoline generator for a 30kW diesel, preferably an old military unit. I wouldn't need a permit for it, but the switch (connect / disconnect from the grid) isn't built for that much either. I am doing OK here running 4 computes, a TV, and my regular oil heating and propane cooking and well. Even the clothes washer. But when I tried to run the clothes dryer, it just about choked, the voltage went down to 220, etc. Really I am jealous, but here we don't get as much sun anyway. [/quote] even with my battery storage I still have a 30kw backup propane generator hooked up to 1000 gallons of propane in the ground in august I never saw the sun and the house kicked over to generator 3 nights that month... the panels will still generate power when it's cloudy but not enough to keep up with demand so after a week or two of clouds it starts to run low at about 2 or 3 am solar isn't the miracle solution the green tards make it out to be sure it's cool if you have the money and are inclined to do such a thing but just not feasible for normal people [/quote] Wrong. It's completely feasible for "normal" people. It's called a solar lease and you should look into it. Many large solar companies offer it and it's a "miracle solution" at ZERO money down. I've had it installed on my home for FREE and my attic roof reinforced for FREE and I pay way less for electricity now and I get a reimbursement at the end of every year for power Ive sold back to the electric company so yes I do laugh all the way to the bank and no I'm not full of shit, friend. [/quote] That's because you aren't counting the solar credit uncle sugar gave the installer. Tax dollars. Your scheme socializes the cost and privatizes the profit, the way Wall Street does math. Redistribution fails because it creates NOTHING. No free lunch, never was - never will be. Without the Federal incentives you would not have your solar lease. [/quote]

With Coal on it's way out they will soon wish for the days where electricity was made for a mere $16 a megawatt.
It will now go to $167 per megawatt in PA. They will see the adjustment on their electric bills in a year or so and cry.
0hio will enjoy an adjustment to $357 per megawatt.
I guess that is what they wanted. They swung towards Obama. There are a lot of Coal miners and Coal mines shutting down ........
Say goodbye to cheap power. Those fools in those states are going to get a rude awakening.
The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was
$136 per megawatt
. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is
$167 per megawatt
. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking
$357 per megawatt
.
