I really am thankful to Helical Power for providing me with a feasibility analysis of installing rooftop solar panels. I think considering the energy crisis the world is facing, we should consider switching to alternative sources of energy.

The whole reason why I support Solar Power. Fossil fuels like oil and petroleum are finite sources and we really need to take a dig at the renewable and sustainable sources of energy. I went solar by installing rooftop solar panel, calculated the ROI with the help of helicalpower.com and did my bit. If we harness even 10% of the total solar energy this planet receives, I’m sure we would solve the energy problems of most 2nd and 3rd world countries!

The Koch Brothers and other businesses providing energy utilities should be more open to a sustainable, maybe one-day viable solution to our energy crisis – which could very well be solar energy. We have sufficient access to it, and although it is expensive to install initially and isn’t cheap to maintain, it solves the worldwide energy problem in the long-term. Solar energy should not be seen as competition or as a threat to other energy utilities, but should be considered a viable solution due to its renew-ability. Home owners and others striving to use solar energy in their homes or businesses should be congratulated. It should also encourage others to do the same. After all, oil and other fossil fuels won’t last forever, but sunlight will.

Stop the Koch brothers domination of U.S. Citizens. Stop ALEC. We are not pawns in their games and we are not for sale…. Maybe it’s gone too far, for too long. Maybe we’re doomed.

That postal format is correct for Canada, but In the USA, the last line on the TO address should be:
City, State, Zip Code.

Post it while you still can, as the same group of extreme right-wingers and their minions in Congress are trying to kill off the US Postal Service. Look up the cost of sending a letter via FedEx for what they have in mind to replace it.

Envision this: You’re walking down the street with your grandchild, and a car pulls up, and a guy jumps out, and starts strangling your grandchild.

What do you do next?

I submit to you that the same response is justified in dealing with the Koch brothers, for the same reasons.

At minimum, lobby your local Police or Sheriff’s department to get an arrest warrant for the Koches on the grounds of attempted mass murder.

After all, the least you’d do to protect your grandchild is whip out your mobile device and call 911.

This approach may backfire to some degree as follows…I’m about to install solar planels…I’m told the utility is going to charge me more and pay me less than expected…rather than abandon the project, I may be incented now to go totally off the grid. At least this option becomes more favorable from a business case perspective (not to mention environmental perspective or for telling the “controller-owners” to go “F” themselves).

Thank you.
