P.S. your experience is a very valuable asset for us. To illustrate what you said the opening comment quotes 2 sources the Preaching of Peter and some unknown work supposedly of Paul. The more radical of scholars question just about everything we think we know regarding the theology of the Paul and Peter. Some even question, on pretty good grounds, whether there ever were12 Apostles or whether their function explains their literary creation. Apostolic succession.

Many homes in America are fully electric now. Gas for cooking is out of favor for health reasons and there are many new options in electric heat. Heat pumps are coming on strong. I myself have electric heat and a propane furnace and a wood stove. If power goes out, I'm using wood. If run out of propane I can use electric or wood. I guess in your case you could get a portable kerosene or gas unit, but make sure to ventilate!

So this is a big con job full of shit thing...ok
I hope I didn't give you that impression. Renewables make sense in every conceivable way. Every resource has it's strengths and weaknesses, requiring education and long term planning. Residential wind and solar make great practical sense as far as the actual productivity and usefulness. My comment was just to temper expectations from a financial perspective. Unless you live in Australia, you are not going to be making money hand over fist. Making a larger investment and installing more panels than you really need only slightly improves the returns. In short do it if you want to or need to. There is the other aspect that having solar (even without battery storage) can offer some protection from power outages. Tell your installer you want to have the ability to keep an outlet/point live during hours of production. They should know to choose an invertor that "islands" the house from the grid. Without this choice, codes require your array to instantly disconnect to keep the grid being energized when repairmen would expect it to be dead. However through "islanding" you can have one or two outlets energized during outages and when the sun is shining. This is enough to keep freezers and refrigerators from thawing. We also wired one to keep the furnace going. Lot's of variables but there is some value in requesting this option.
IMO, ideally we would convert the grid to renewables and nuclear. Solar and wind on a larger scale has a much better return of investment. Nuclear presently has it's own issues as we know but progress is being made.
In short, residential wind and solar are not 'a con job' but they are not going to make you rich.

A political cult attacking a religious one. Whatever may be said about the WT, it is not giving financial support to Ukrainian militants.
Has anyone heard of a booklet entitled, "Will There Be Peace Without War?" If that was a WT publication, the choice of wording was unfortunate.

Indeed, Sibyl and Hystaspes foretold that all corruptible things are to be destroyed by fire. And the so-called Stoic philosophers teach that even God is to be transformed into fire, and they claim that after this evolution the world is to be made over again. We, on the contrary, believe that God, the Maker of all things, is superior to changeable things. If, therefore, we agree on some points with your honored poets and philosophers, and on other points offer a more complete and supernatural teaching, and if we alone produce proof of our statements, why are we unjustly hated beyond all others? When we say that God created and arranged all things in this world, we seem to repeat the teaching of Plato; when we announce a final conflagration, we utter the doctrine of the Stoics; and when we assert that the souls of the wicked, living after death, will be sensibly punished, and that the souls of the good, freed from punishment, will live happily, we believe the same things as your poets and philosophers.
Justin Martyr, Apology 20 (CUA Fathers of the Church translation)In practical terms Christianity was a Greek revision of Judaism. As it developed it's own identity and momentum it sought to definitively differentiate itself from either rootstock, as Justin does in Apology excerpted above.
I posted the opening comments from Clement as a rather progressive thought. The same God.

Is Jesus God?
by Sea Breeze ini know that a lot of historical names have claimed to be a god.
but, jesus arguably claimed to be god.
scripture says he's the creator.

The interchangeability of "Wisdom" "Spirit" "Word" "Son of God" in Intertestamental and NT texts is indicative that the Christ figure was perceived more than simply a man named "Jesus". He/it/she was God's hands and voice. There is no contradiction in these writings in saying the Holy Spirit/Wisdom was created by God and at the same time saying the Holy Spirit was God.
Leolaia did a bang-up job as aways reviewing this topic.
The Holy Spirit.

The codes here require using mounting systems that meets wind load and corrosion resistance standards. The average 6KW rooftop system used a rail and standoff racking. The wholesale cost of the rails and standoffs, flashing and UFOs (special cleat/bolts Ironridge) was about $2000-2500. Including all the panels, inverter, wire, box and breakers balance of system components, parts/materials alone were about $10k.

Jinko Solar Panels: An In-Depth Review (solarreviews.com)
It's wonderful you got them for that price. As I said your government must be heavily subsidizing the industry. We used Panasonics at the time. They were about $500 ea back then. I know they have come down a bit but you did great. I assure you I didn't leave a thumbs down, Simon still won't give me permission to do that.
A typical installation took 2-3 days with a team of 3. 1 on ground 2 on roof with harnesses. The first day was just setting up scaffolding and installing the mounting rails and perhaps the junction box/panel. The next was spent mounting the panels and some wire pulling. If the roof was steep, it often spilled into a 3rd day for completion. You guys are fast, or there is something very different about your installation methods and codes. -

From the website.
Jinko solar panel cost
A solar energy system built with Jinko solar panels typically costs around $2.25–$2.50 per watt. That means a 6 kilowatt (kW) system will cost you between $13,500 and $15,000 before incentives.To get the 5.7KW from 13 panels you must have the 440W Jinkos that Solar Dynamics uses. You got a deal mate.

LOL, I thought you were in Victoria Canada! You likely have a 30% better solar resource than we do. And facing NORTH makes more sense! The government MUST be subsidizing the industry to sell that cheap. That is the wholesale price of just the panels. Never mind the inverter, installation and balance of system (wires, fasteners, electric panel/boxes, array rails supports, etc.).
