For you guys saying you're "too old" for renewables, etc.: Unless you plan on burying your home with you, there is still value to going in that direction.
No doubt. In my case it's determining how much the initial investment would be and would it be worth going in debt ( If I need to ) to get the ball rolling. I realize the "initial cost" is totally dependent on how much energy you want to generate but living on a modest fixed income the start up cost does come into play for me.
Forgive my ignorance. I'm not the smartest guy in the world when it comes to topics like renewable energy (or anything for that matter lol) but I do believe that continuing to be dependent on fossil fuels is literally a dead end road.
Thanks for the interesting, thought provoking ideas that have been brought up in this thread.
