No, silly, I'm supporting my statement: "for most people, the cost of PV
is far too expensive to justify." Your response, ironically, supports
that very statement.
Decide whatever you want -- that's freedom, bro. Doesn't mean that it
is the smart thing to do.
Right now, PV is far too expensive to justify for the individual. If
they want to buy PV AND a BMW, so be it. Probably a poor decision on
both counts, but have at it.
In the meantime, I'll have neither. I'll buy PV WHEN it makes economic
sense, and not a second before. As for BMW, I've never liked them
regardless of their cost, but maybe I should buy one of those to impress
you and for the 'general good of the people'.
Hasta la vista, muchacho.

PVs that are uncooled are urban heat-islands, but
they are not so large per unit. there are a few manfuacturers
that actually heat the water, two, I understand.

At the moment, not for long.

Hopefully.
As I've said, as soon as it is cost effective, I'm buying. In the
meantime, I have better things to waste my hard-earned $$ on.

Yep, you are one of the followers that others will lead.
