Dig into the bill and let's find out how many state legislators have their hands in some solar panel company or manufacturer. Must be put on every new house? Sounds like a good time to have a piece of that action, and mark my words, the money trail will bring you back to Sacramento. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t mean the hovernment gets to dictate others use it. You made a free choice to invest some money to save some money- let others make the same choice. p.s. - I didn’t mean to say hoverment, but I kinda like it as a subtle dig, so I’m leaving it.

3rdnlng Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Guys, I got a hot tip from William Devane. With all the new solar panels being built, investing in silver might be a good idea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the break even point is about 15 years? Glad my retirement home was built this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 LA’s top water and power executive steps down in wake of FBI raids, mayor says </snip> The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s top executive stepped down Tuesday, one day after FBI agents raided the utility’s downtown headquarters. Mayor Eric Garcetti had announced weeks ago that David Wright, the DWP’s general manager, would be leaving the utility Oct. 1. In the wake of the searches at the DWP and other city offices, however, Wright is leaving immediately, Garcetti said. </snip> FBI agents served search warrants Monday at multiple government offices, including at City Attorney Mike Feuer’s office, as part of an investigation into how the city responded to the disastrous rollout of a new DWP customer billing system in 2013. Feuer spokesman Rob Wilcox said the warrants served at the city attorney’s office were connected to the city’s settlement of a class-action lawsuit filed over inaccurate DWP bills, as well as a separate lawsuit filed by the DWP and city against a consulting firm. Wright was appointed general manager of the DWP in 2016 and focused on trying to fix the billing system and improving customer service. At Wright’s recommendation, the DWP in 2017 approved a no-bid $30 million contract for Aventador, a company owned by Paul Paradis, who also was an attorney retained by Feuer in a lawsuit filed against the consulting firm that implemented the utility’s new billing software. </snip> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that, splice it into 15-amp NM, splice that into BX, hook that up to a 20 amp breaker in a box that somehow - don't ask me how, but an electrician has confirmed - has TWO mains - a 60 and a 40 - coming in from the meter. And a 20 amp breaker for a subpanel in an outbuilding workshop wired for 75 amp. Last time I tried to replace a ceiling light, it took me and a master electrician FOUR HOURS just to figure out how the duplex switches were wired (with a combination of BX and NM, of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way, in the foreseeable future, that any Republican will ever do anything other than sit on a city council for, say, Palos Verdes Estates. The left have every inch of CA locked down. Tied down. Gagged. Duct taped. Crazy glued. In their full control. The only red that state will ever see again will be in their budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
