We had net metered solar system installed this year.
We will get a 13% return on our investment which is better
than you will do in the stock market right now.

The market surveys are that the money we put into the
solar system increases the value of the house by the
cost of the system in case we want to sell some time
in the future.

The panels are warranted for 30 years but the estimates are
they will last for 50 years.

Nothing quite like going from $210 a month to $8 a month
for electricity.

RealClimate posted a response to Freeman Dyson on the 24th
that takes him to task for some of his statements.

" The problem here, unrecognized by Dyson, is that the business-as-usual he’s defending would release almost as much carbon to the air by the end of the century as the entire reservoir of carbon stored on land, in living things and in soils combined."
....
"And anyway, business-as-usual will always argue that the alternative would be catastrophic to our economic well being. Remember seat belts? Why is it that Dyson’s remarkably creative powers of vision (carbon-eating trees for example) fail to come up with alternatives to the crude and ugly process of burning coal to generate electricity?"

Assuming that there was a statistical increase in cancer in these pets, I would not jump to the conclusion that the RF energy was the source of the problem.

I would be more suspicious of the glass used for these implants. Low temperature melting point glasses
have all kind of additives to lower the melting point.

It has been seen in some implants that SiO2 can dissolve in the implant tissue capsule. If the glass was
dissolving it would release any of the glass additives.

Another point is that there are reports that the pH in the implant tissue capsule can see pH
changes down to 1.0. That would also not be good for helping keep low melting point additives
from entering the body.
