how much snow is sitting on top of the space station steve? this is what always has pissed me off about the green energy fags . they want us to use solar ok fine. i would love to be able to use solar but where i live we sometimes get 3 ft of snow. the snow blows in and keep on coming down for 2-3 days at a time . we get like 6 hours of daylight mid winter ,its just not practical for where i am at. if they had battery capacity that lets you store weeks of energy it migh work but we are not there yet. solar might work great for you if you live in a flat desert area but not in the mountains and the trees and the snow
