    You Mean You Can’t Have Electric Everything And Not Run Out Of Power??

    All energy is subsidized in some way… we need it all. Solar is for all practicality the only thing that can stand alone. I agree that wind is the least desirable. The distribution and distribution infrastructure is where the electric company makes its money. They don’t particularly care...

    You Mean You Can’t Have Electric Everything And Not Run Out Of Power??

    You have to scale accordingly for personal energy independence… doesn’t change the fact that it’s pretty easy with solar. Location, elevation and environment all play a part. It would be harder in Phoenix, which is why in said we need it all I.e nuke, nat gas, wind….

    You Mean You Can’t Have Electric Everything And Not Run Out Of Power??

    We need it all… the sun in the largest nuclear reactor we have. I have been running 100% of grid with solar on my vacation property (including 30000btu of AC) for almost 5 years without any problems. Distributed solar is the best way to make electricity.

    California High Desert Living.

    Been there twice, it’s ok but more of a tasting room in an industrial complex. No food but maybe a food truck randomly. We are a bit spoiled in Tempe/chandler with a dozen full service brewery/resturants.

    California High Desert Living.

    My mother in law and brother in law both live in the oak hills area so we visit a few times a year. I have hunted all over for a decent brewery/sports bar. The only one I have found is the republic at spring valley lake. After that, the Texas Roadhouse (which isn’t my thing as a chain)… I...

    CD rates, it was fun while it lasted!

    I have been watching for a couple days and there has been no 30 day offerings. BUT since I posted Schwab just put out a single bank 30 day at 4.75, so I grabbed it.

    CD rates, it was fun while it lasted!

    Below 5% and both Schwab and Fidelity dropped 30 day certificates…. It was fun, but I guess we go back to incentivizing debt instead of saving.

    Refrigerator repair in Page/Big water?

    That’s a good idea…. This thing is dead dead. I have talked to a dozen place and nobody does repairs, crazy? There is a lot of full size fridges up and down the docks not to mention 8k people in page.
