We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Even the NYT can see the Green Energy Scam now. It's a scandal, if not criminal. Freebies to the 1%, and feel-good nonsense for the benighted greenies.
I had a good morning of bird-hunting today. How about you?
Went fishing around 10 or so - got back around 2. Nothing "big" - couple of schoolie stripers and a couple of largemouth - 2 lbs at most.
Did stumble into something kind of cool though - a variation on the "umbrella" rig called the "Alabama"rig. I borrowed one from Lake World bait and tackle shop - huge rig, seven and a half foot Heavy action bait casting rod, big bait caster (like a Penn 309 but it was Okuma) and 60 lb braided line. It's a beast of a rig - almost like a boat rig in fact. Had to get used to casting it as it's like trying to throw a blowing ball.
But I scored four fish off of it and I'm looking forward to trying this rig on suspended fish upriver and up towards the top of the lake.
I am very sympathetic to the point that we are dramatically over subsidizing renewables in general and solar in particular, but that analysis is garbage. Is it a levered or unlevered analysis? The first arrow in the chart is total capital (not equity, thus unlevered) but then they count interest saving (levered). It can be either or, but not mixed. Same thing with taxes...is it a before or after tax analysis? I don't see the income tax payments, so before. But then I see the tax depreciation, so after. Again, one way or the other, but not mix and match.
I think this is a case like OJ....they framed a guilty man.
