What I get from this pic: it takes this many solar panels to provide reliable power to one single family home.
What I get is "There is a lot of Government money that is unaccounted for".
If Go Green is the greatest thing since sliced bread........ Why is it being funded by "The Government" ?

 
I worked in a Ford dealer back in the "70's. The parts manager was a real asshole. We did that to his car, on 3 wheels. He never said anything but that must have been quit a ride home.
When I was working in a shop we put a rocker panel on the owner's truck. I glued 6 marbles to the inside of the rocker reinforcement with wood glue. It took a while, but once the wood glue let go he had 6 marbles rolling around inside of his rocker panel.

Another good trick is to put a 1 ounce fishing weight hanging from the bottom of the driver's door glass. Make the string just long enough the weight swings around and hits the door when the window is rolled up, but it settles into the bottom of the door when the window is rolled down.

Okay, last one. Duct tape a piece of bicycle inner tube to the drive shaft of your buddies pickup. Trim the inner tube so it will just barely miss the floor of the cab. Once the truck gets rolling the centrifugal force of the drive shaft spinning will cause the inner tube to stretch and start slapping the floor of the truck.

Tune in next week when I teach your 5 year old kids to put mayonnaise in squirt guns and food coloring in water ballons.

The wife bought a new '92 Subaru Legacy and there was something rattling/rolling around somewhere. I finally got fed up, started looking and found about a 1" steel ball (like from a BIG ball bearing) rolling around in one of the chassis channels. The car was new, off the lot. Couldn't have been put there by anyone other than the factory.

We are "Living It"...

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” The quote, from a postapocalyptic novel by the author G. Michael Hopf, sums up a stunningly pervasive cyclical vision of history.
