Senate Dems shouldn’t even be discussing the budget until the tariffs are dead, ICE is neutered, and congress slaps down this unitary executive nonsense. Then there’s that little matter of the president being implicated in a heinous pedophilia ring. Budget can definitely wait for that to finish.

I looking down here, everyone should do what they can. That said, if you can get solar you’re almost certainly a fool not to. Being green and saving green mean the same thing here.

Why not? It’s a long term investment in your home, not unlike an addition. It pays for itself, potentially several times over. Provided your loan payment is lower than your average electric bill, you’re ahead each month.
Murph (@murphymc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, no, that’s not really true. Skilled tradespeople easily can afford that kind of thing, I’m one of them. Carpenters, machinists, welders, etc easily could as well. Really if you can afford a house you can afford solar. The problem of not being to afford a house is a whole other problem.
Murph (@murphymc.bsky.social) reply parent
However, just to be clear, if it were up to me every roof of every building capable would be mandated to have solar by law. It’s asinine that we’re just throwing away abundant and borderline free energy.
Murph (@murphymc.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s basically what’s in effect right now here in CT. Many of the government incentives are upfront, and scale significantly with lower income and/or ‘underserved’ community. Unfortunately you’d still need credit to take out a loan, but the payment would be a fraction of your electric bill.

So glad I got solar operational this year. While the data centers are a problem, there’s plenty more, like just not permitting ANY solar or wind going forward and stopping projects 80% completed. Shits going to get a lot worse.

One of the many great tragedies of 2025 is the purge of dedicated government officials. These FEMA employees will almost assuredly be fired, and they know that, and went ahead anyway. It will take generations to convince people of character to agree to dedicate their lives to our country again.

Similarly, if you can accommodate a chicken coop, also a good idea. They’re really not terribly hard to take care of. They can persist off table scraps and their own forage too, and even produce high quality compost/fertilizer for the garden to establish a nice circle of sustainability.
Murph (@murphymc.bsky.social)
If you’re fortunate to have room to have a garden, you should have a garden. In general it’s just a relaxing hobby, but you’ll also be damn happy to have that skill if the economic conditions get even half as bad as we’re expecting .
