I live in Missouri. I had 12 solar panels installed on my roof in 2022. I’ve never regretted it. I don’t have battery backup either and I’m still coming out ahead.

You’re entitled to your opinion, of course. I’ve chosen not to support ABC or any other network. The networks have spent months/years supporting this regime and allowing lies to pass as truths while fascism took over our country. Hard pass. #Fascism

The house I currently live in is 26 years old. The roof passed inspection when I moved in 2021 so obviously I didn’t replace it. About six months later, I had 12 solar panels installed. I haven’t found any difference in performance. I don’t have battery backup. Obviously weather is a factor.

I have panels with no battery backup either. I get along just fine. I even send energy back to the utility once a year.

I live in a red state. Two common excuses for not attending are “it won’t make a difference” and “personal safety”. I disagreed, of course, and attended a peaceful #NoKings protest. It was great to engage with so many other like-minded people. I was inspired by the diversity (and cute dogs).

Hahahaha The corporate media HELPED elevate his rise to the presidency and supported his policies. Independent media will report on the massive turnout. I heard one estimate say about 8 million people in total rallied across the country for #NoKings. I was one of them.

Indeed. I installed 12 solar panels on my home’s roof in March of 2022. I produce more energy than I consume.

I chose to invest in solar panels about 4 years ago. I’m so glad I did. I have 12 panels on the roof of my home. My electric bill is only $200 a YEAR. The sun produces more energy than I can consume but my local utility company charges a monthly fee anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #Solar #GoGreen

Attention Democratic Party! I dare candidates to run on this issue alone in the presidential election. You would win handily. Morbid reminder - We can’t vote for Dems in the future if we’re dead from lack of/unaffordable healthcare. #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthcareNow

Ma Carol mentioned these South American countries also have universal healthcare. Thank you! I plan to update the first chart. Can anyone from any of those countries send links to credible information regarding the approximate start dates for universal healthcare in their countries?

#MassBlackout saves money and shows who has the power. We have too many things anyway. Choose not to spend money at the store or online. Since money is tight, it shouldn’t be an issue. If you absolutely must do so, shop at small businesses and shop local.

I live in Missouri, USA. I have 12 panels on my roof. Here are the stats since I’ve had them. As you can see, the panels have produced more electricity than I can consume. My city just charges a nominal monthly fee so that’s why I pay anything at all.
