And you save all that money on not using proper capitalization.
Seriously, if you want people to read your comment, at least try.
" you will have to lose thing like the 60 inch tv and always running the ac but it can be done."
The trick is create power and let us have out toys.
"and it will change the balance of political power tremendously."
no it wont, becasue the people in power will be the ones that:
A) needed to supply industrial level energy
B) buy the successful companies with off grid technology. Then probably 'give it to you' in exchange for a long term contract.
" And, of course, most tax revenue is paid by the rich(-ish)."

"whereas a business invests $x million"
yes, money they write off(you and me pay for it),and NO company's invests 100 million hoping to make 100 million. the may invest 10 million for that, and corporation will do what ever they can to get subsidies to pay for it, and many do. So they get us to pay for it, and then they keep the profits.
"$100M in revenue for an activist group"
depends on the group, and in no way accounts for overhead.
You sir, are ignorant in corporate finance, revenue generation, and costs for non profits.
In short, calm down. If you can take tie to make bold letters, then you can take time to think they way you are spreading a message.
"for people well off to afford them (e.g. most greenies"
wrong.
"you are contributing to wealth inequality. "
also, wrong.
" development was not cut off from nuclear power technologies by these various rich greenie groups"
different subject, and not actually most people who want clean energy alternatives.
Those groups are general anti corporation and sciences.
False, you sell it back at cost, they use it and the sell you energy later. YOUR cost balance out, but it's not like they don't resell the electricity you sell them.
Frankly, the idea that it's backup is something the Power companies pushes to keep people more sympathetic to their cries of 'not making enough money' and/or 'It cost too much'
Not broken,. but antiquated in design and thinking. Frankly no system should be built or replaced with anything but what they need for power to flow safely in both directions.
becasue they only thing in the world that matters is money. Let burn the fucker down, it's cheaper that way!
Selfish git.
Unless something as change, and it may have, the electric companies pay their cost for electricity form other sources, sources they would use less of if they are getting it from private home owners.
Giant indoor damn.
Humans have made indoor ski resorts, so I would wager we could make an indoor damn then pump water up in the day and releases it at night.
Also, created automated system and et people to use them so things can be done during the day. Vacuum, Dishes, washer, dryer.
hmmmm. I wonder if the someone can use the excess energy to fill a tank to high pressure, and then release the pressure to generate electricity during the night?
Or a small indoor molten salt system.
"That company will be around for a LONG time. They are *THE* industry leader."
Those statements don't correlate. The Technology pathway is littered with the dead husks of industry leaders.
Past results do not indicate future performance.
That energy is better used in a far more efficient furnace system then as waste.
I can get a job writing COBOL and make a lot more money then anyone can using Ruby. That doesn't mean COBOL has a great outlook.
"These days I don't really know why I still come here, "
then fucking leave.
" reddit has MUCH better comment quality on average"
see previous statement
"Slashdot is living off of past glory completely."
hahaha, no
This is my 8th uid
" Back then the moderation system was state the greatest asset "
huh, I remember when there was no moderation,noob
" I'm not bitter at all"
clearly, you are.
Look, either leave and don't let the door hit you in the ass*, or stay. Just stopped fucking whining like a 4 yer old. Take it from a card carrying old guy, it makes you look bad.
*which means shut up about it
All the simple programs have been written.
