[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 1610994, member: 52145"] "free energy" is a misnomer. no such thing as "free". R and D , equipment, maintenance and upgrades, etc etc. that's why we haven't converted to solar. a solar water heater would cost us over 2000 dollars. that's not counting , installation , maintenance cost per year etc. that's another 2 grand. with our gas bill holding close to steady at 40 bucks a month for the last decade it would take over 8 years to break even and in just the first couple years the whole system would be obsolete. same goes for solar power on the home, electric cars , etc. remember when Texas Instruments came out with the electronic calculator.? every kid in school had to have one at a 100 bucks a pop. a few years later you could buy one for a dollar. Im hearing of a black box that they are working on that can supply power for a house for pennies. a technological breakthrough is right around the corner. im getting back on my bicycle for now.
