Investor's Business Daily (blog)-Dec 2, 2014

"Why should you care about someone else's bill? Because you say you want to promote solar power".

LMAO. If they ask me how they can reduce expenses, I'll suggest they pay off their mortgage, and then install solar.

"you should want to conserve that geothermal power for things like hospitals that can't rely on solar."
I want hospitals to be able to rely on solar when the sun is shining.

Solar panels to provide energy at Kaiser Permanente’s Santa Clara Medical Center

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Kaiser Permanente’s Santa Clara Medical Center has gone live with solar power, becoming one of the country’s first major medical centers to receive a significant amount of its energy from the sun. ...Kaiser Permanente agreed in March to install solar power systems at 15 of its California facilities — deploying at total 15 megawatts of solar energy — by the end of 2011....Kaiser Permanente first used solar power when it opened one of the country’s “greenest” hospitals in Modesto, Calif., in 2008. That hospital’s solar-panel array generates enough electricity to power 25 homes annually.

If I didn't, I'd have a few more panels.
