Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

80 cents per kwh here lol. I'm fine with high prices if they aren't just profits for the owning class, but this is absurd
80 cents per kilowatt hour!
You owe it to yourself to put a solar balcony on.
You can usually get a 600 watt system that basically plugs into your wall and back feeds electricity to your house for something like $700.
Depending on your locale and climate that could generate anywhere between 3 and 6 KW hours a day on average every day year over year.
It would take approximately one year to pay for itself.
Have any links to such a system? I’d be all for it but everything I find seems to be intentionally confusing, pushing for you to just bite the bullet and pay a contractor to do everything, including trusting they aren’t charging you out the ass.
I don't have a direct link, but a slightly more in depth review of the system can be found on great Scotts YouTube channel

I have a large solar array, which makes a huge difference, but it definitely doesn't zero my bill. The most expensive hours are not during prime solar production, and I don't have a solar battery setup yet
