i was thinking more a combination of power sources not just solar, if i had a creek running through my acreage a bit of water power, some wind power, maybe even some >>>>>::::::::::::> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q05NISGYYJg

Oh boo hoo.

Id pay that rather than slap 40 grand plus interest on a new car that replaces my perfectly usable one I already own. Just because it looks nice, runs on the smell of a wet dream & wipes my bottom for me.

So many that have the money to be self sufficient, but would rather the fun factor of consumerism.

But its okay, Im the cute sweetiepie here....
