@RexRed,
We had solar panels installed on our home a couple of months ago, and I can already see the 'savings.' More in the saving of our environment than $$ savings, but that's okay. We're getting a credit against our our utilities because the solar panels produces more electricity than we're using. I also installed more LED lamps in our home; makes a big difference.

What is your source for these numbers?
Where did you get them?
@mysteryman,
Seriously. You can look at that graphic and not be able to figure where those figures came from??????
Report: Powerful Nevada GOPer Wrote Column About 'Simple Minded Darkies'

The incoming Republican speaker of the Nevada Assembly wrote about the "master-slave relationship" between Democrats and blacks, while also referencing "simple minded darkies," according to a report published Thursday.
The Reno News & Review, an alternative weekly in the state's second city, picked through past newspaper columns written by Rep. Ira Hansen, who was designated as speaker by the Republicans who won control of the state's assembly on Election Day.
What the weekly said it found in the columns, which date back to 1994 and were reviewed on microfilm, were shocking views on a wide variety of issues -- but particularly race.
According to the News & Review, Hansen wrote the following on the subject of public education and teachers unions:
The Democratic coalition would split asunder if the NAACP & co. actually promoted what black Americans truly desire—educational choice. The shrewd and calculating [black] ’leaders’ are willing to sacrifice the children of their own race to gratify their lust for power and position. The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies. For American blacks, being denied choice and forced to attend the failing and inferior government school system is a form of involuntary servitude. Let’s call it what it truly is—educational slavery.
That wasn't all. He also made observations about Hispanics:
Locally, gangs and their associated criminal activity are obviously dominated by immigrants, especially Hispanic immigrants. You cannot read a story about criminals or watch a news report locally without noticing a grossly disproportionate amount of Hispanic involvement.
And women:
Today, when Army men look at women in the ranks with ’longing in their eyes’ it very well may constitute ’sexual harassment.’ The truth is, women do not belong in the Army or Navy or Marine Corps, except in certain limited fields.
And LGBT people:
Considering only about 2 percent of adult males are homosexuals, the numbers show why homosexuals have been historically regarded as such a threat. Male homosexuals are grossly disproportionate in child molestation cases, and the youth orientation of male homosexuality drives this trend.”
Yet, one fact of homosexuality deliberately downplayed is the grossly disproportionate numbers of child molesters, called ’pederasts,’ which fill their ranks. In fact, they are called, in the homosexual vernacular, ’chicken hawks.’ Many of these pederasts are not the least bit ashamed of their vile behavior and have adopted the militancy now so common with their fellow homosexuals.
Those are just a few samplings. The full accounting from the News & Review is here.

@bobsal u1553115,
Yes I can, because the graphic says it came from a Facebook page, nothing more. So I ask again, what is the source?
Hey, remember Benghazi? Remember all the GOP hyperbole that it was all Obama's fault and fuckup?
TURNS OUT THAT WAS ALL TOTAL BULLSHIT. AND THE GOP-LED INVESTIGATION CONFIRMS IT WAS BULLSHIT. This just in:
Quote: AdChoices GOP-led panel finds no intelligence failure in Benghazi
The Washington Post STR 56 mins ago
An investigation by the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee has concluded that the CIA and U.S. military responded appropriately to the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, dismissing allegations that the Obama administration blocked rescue attempts during the assault or sought to mislead the public afterward.
After a two-year probe that involved the review of thousands of pages of classified documents, the panel determined that the attack could not be blamed on an intelligence failure, and that CIA security operatives “ably and bravely assisted” State Department officials who were overwhelmed at a nearby but separate diplomatic compound.
The committee also found “no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support,” rejecting claims that have fed persistent conspiracy theories that the U.S. military was prevented from rescuing U.S. personnel from a night-time assault that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Just another GOP conspiracy theory.
@coldjoint,
joint says:
Quote: Or coercion from a corrupt president.
Or total lack of evidence. "coercion" on a GOP-led panel? Yeah, right. Once joint's got a good conspircay theory going, nothing as petty as no evidence will make him abandon it. Reality bites, doesn't it, joint?
@MontereyJack,
Another GOP waste of time and money. All they offer are threats and lies, and they get reelected into congress. TNCFS
@coldjoint,
It might be just peculiar to my computer, but when I went to you link, it was more or less a blank page. If it is real, I suppose it will be reported somewhere else.
