This November 14-15, 2011 - Toronto, ON -643 Well, I have a plan a five-year goal. By 2014, I plan to get at least half of the energy in my home from solar panels. Seems like a modest plan. Ill either buy them or buy the parts and make my own. People are already doing this, you know. My guess is that were not hearing about it very much because solar panels represent a major threat to the electric companies, in the same way that electric cars represent a huge problem for the oil industry. But guess what? I dont CARE. There was life before Big Oil and Big Electric, and there will most likely be life after them.
