[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 268178, member: 1399"] I figure Solar powered homes is like my family owning a VCR, back in the late 70's when the Beta VCR's first came out I know they were way to expensive for my folks to buy one. I want to think the first ones were like $1,000.00 but maybe it just seemed that expensive to my parents. Fast forward 30 years later VCR's are $39.99 at Wal-Mart. If the government would have said all homes or even all new homes have to have a VCR then we would still be paying $1,000.00 for them. Much like all the other crap the Gov puts their nose into. But since RCA, Zenith etc... saw a market for VCR's the free market and entrepreneur spirit gave us cheap affordable VCR's. I will wait for necessity or an entrepreneur to give me an affordable substitute to power my home with. I think we will get there one day but I do not want the Gov speeding up the process by mandating it. [/QUOTE]
