But I have to make an appointment with the bank.
The solar company can arrange the financing and do all the paperwork.
You might get a better deal from your bank, but you don't hafta go that route.
not be able to get a loan for fixing my car if it is needed.
If you own a home (why else would you buy solar panels?) but need to borrow money to fix your car, then your finances are severely mismanaged. Perhaps you should ride a bicycle while you build up your savings.
It won't even cost $55M.
Government budgets are bloated.
If it is moved to the private sector, they can fire the fat Americans and replace them with skinny Indians at a tenth of the price.
The problem is all banks will start charging fees
Maybe. Or maybe some banks won't because that way they get more depositors. The market will sort it out.
My bank charges fees for many things, but most fees are waived if I maintain a high enough average balance.
Other fees are waived if I have my paycheck direct-deposited and have my mortgage payment auto-deducted.
So only poor people end up paying the fees, which is yet another reason not to be poor.
just don't ask me to get a personal loan
If the interest on the loan is less than the savings on your electric bill, you come out ahead even with borrowed money.
Some solar companies provide financing and guarantee a positive return.
Northern Europe has a lot of wind turbines, and the winds are stronger in winter.
We're racing in the opposite direction thanks to our president.
America is behind mainly because of Biden's tariffs on imported PV panels, in a failed attempt to build a domestic solar industry.
Trump is hostile to anything green, but he's mostly just blathering with little real-world effect.
that a bank put up their customers' data for sale for a price, or that other companies thought they should get that data for free.
What Distros are supported?
Nearly everything is supported on those modern macs.
I still have Ubuntu 4.10 (warty) installed on my PowerMac G3 B&W (1999). A 20 year old Linux distro running on a 25+ year old Mac, that's vintage.
Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.
I kinda hate all the Samsung account nagging on their phones.
>the Nokia feature phone business from Microsoft, which had in turn bought the ailing brand in 2014.
No mention that Microsoft sent executive Stephen Elop to dismantle Nokia as its CEO in 2010. Nor that in 2014 as part of the deal to acquire Nokia's phone business leaving the rest of the company to soldier on, Nokia insisted that Microsoft repossess him.
Tesla's market share in China is about 1/3 of what it was in 2021.
A base Tesla Model 3 sells for about $32k in China.
A BYD sells for $9k.
Tesla is way behind.
BYDs are banned in America, but are very popular in many Asian countries.
53% of new cars sold in China are EVs.
8% of new cars sold in America are EVs.
China always aspired to be the world's undisputed leader in science and technology, and Trump is giving them what they want.
Groundwater depletion doesn't slow the Earth's rotation, it increases it. When water is pumped from high altitudes and ends up in the ocean, it speeds up the rotation. But a bigger factor is when groundwater is pumped from tropical areas (India is the biggest pumper), and then spreads out over the global ocean, speeding up the rotation even more.
Melting mountain glaciers speed up the Earth's rotation, but melting polar glaciers slow it.
Thermal expansion of the oceans slows the Earth's rotation.
But the biggest brake is tidal friction from the Moon.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
