Great Solar advantages

("...ah, but one goes from there a step further, that is since one know that the latest linux is untried, so one installs an older tried version, hence I am on mint linux 7 where mint 9 has out now, that is simply that I am someone who neither follows the crowd nor the cutting edge either..." mentioned the goblin who would no doubt one day take up each technological innovation in its turn but no until it was old hat then)

so when you upgrade your operating system what about the rest of the stuff that goes along with it like Ram, processing speed, memory. does that all get upgraded too?

"...one only needs to upgrade material where there is need to, for example 512ram works well under linux where windows 7 needs 1024ram at least..." simply the goblin matched the material to the os each time, adding "...if you do a live CD test each time, you can't go wrong, simple one boots the system onto the ram first seeing if the computer runs perfectly under linux, then if you like what you see, one installs, whereas if you sees that something is not right, one turns off the computer extracting the CD, where the next time one turns on the computer it will run as before because nothing was ever loaded onto the harddrive in the test..."

ah, but my solar system produces 10.5 KW of power while my demand is at least 3 KW less. And with ever improving appliance efficiencies my demand continues to drop. meaning my system contiunes to produce increasingly more than i need. why do i need to wait for this new advanced technology? it seems you are inconsistent in your demands on new technology.

("...and if some better technology turns up where the outlay is less and the returns are greater..., ..." replied the goblin again, so the best thing was probably wait and see, adding "...I suppose there is a right moment for all of us, where the goblin would love a solar laptop now...")

KK...you are really green aren't ya ...that's so cool


I have a solar powered flashlight...that's a start



and...WoW...you boys can sure make a spambot feel welcome

returns can't be greater. they are all based on funding and subsidy. they only allow you to install what you need. Don't ask me why ? a ten kw system is a 10 kw system. you get srecs based on what you produce. you get a rebate based o nthe cost of your system, so a cheaper system would yield less of a rebate. besides, right now i am making money off it. it doesn't cost me. if i waited i'd be making nothing and paying for my utilities. now i make money and pay nothing. it's a win / win

Green I'm cheap lol

what gave it away, the solar? the recycled tires?

"...meet the human spambot..." went the goblin introducing himself, not really human mind you, less greedy than them

i sse your spam and raise you another

"...ah, but would that be fair to the original spambot if one hijacks the thread of other spamming purposes then, is there no honor amongst spammers here..." mused the goblin moments before going back to work

perhaps next time he'll take his spam elsewhere.

Investing in solar energy is today a wise thing to do, considering the soaring fossil fuel prices and its shrinking supply.

OK Kleger17 .... whatcha doing around here, and why via New Dehli ?

"... whereas..." Jats chips in with a contrary view "...why pay for anything in this throwaway society..." knowing full well he will be doing someone a favour in the future by taking that old solar panel off their roof before it goes in the skip on its way to landfill, and by replacing a few duff cells will be having it on his own roof instead "...its the future..." as Jats looks up the address now on his way to get a free computer for the boys to play with, where with Linux installed it will be good as new "...yes let the wage slaves pay for it now, I'll have it for free then, just later...."

my system is producing about 30 kw a day. even in the winter
