Glad to see your solar panels provide you enough juice to run the computer machine late into the dark night:wave:
solar panels for hot water on the roof in 1992, just after oil war 1. will pay double for gasoline to stop all offshore drilling and bring home our mercenary forces. waiting for government penalties for gas hogs and generous tax credits for electric/hybrid vehicles. not holding my breath.

Was it a major project to convert to solar panels for water?

Disposable Diapers: Things could get messy for me, so there's a problem.
Milk Jugs- What decade do you live in? Last time I saw milk in a glass bottle, I started my diaper habit.
Crayons- you'd have to gnaw them out of my hands, mouth or left foot.

:wave:

You know I am 80 years old at heart! :D

The organic milk at the farmer's market comes in glass bottles.

Sounds like a win.

Sound like the guy interviewed on the news before the hurricane hits, refusing to leave, proclaiming his flashlight, water and Sam's club can of beans will sustain him.:roll:

Oil advocates are like WWII Japanese soldier on Guam in 1955, refusing to believe it's all over. As for me, adapting to a doubling of gas prices would not be a problem with or without financial incentives. Two years ago I made a committment to drive as though gas were priced at $6.00 a gallon, so right now it's like I'm getting a windfall.

Doubling of gas prices probably wouldn't be that big of a deal if price occurred in a vacuum without any other effects. Of course, simple doubling of gasoline price is a conservative estimate of what would occur if all offshore drilling was stopped. And be sure to make room in your budget for just about every good, service and utility you currently consume going up in price. And finally, be sure to save a little scratch for Bob's poor freezing relatives up north because that heating oil will probably be just a little too expensive for them. But I'm sure you guys have it all figured out:lol:

Not many of us are going to be able to afford much of anything after Obama's massive destructive taxation on all of America starts January 1, 2011.

Yeah, why can't Obama be more like George W. Bush--just spend money without raising taxes to pay for it?
