During the congressional debates there was a lot of talk about
alternative energy sources. They discussed wind power and roof mounted
solar panels. Where I live, the roof is covered with a foot (or more)
of snow during most of the winter. Solar panels would be useless.

Sounds like if you invested $10,000 in panels, you could use the $3
you save per month in electrity, to buy a roof rake. :)

Some friends of mine claim they basically pay nothing for
their electricity. This is in NW Washington State. I believe
they said they paid about $16,000 for their system. They
are careful about their usage it seemed.

I don't know the life expectancy of panels, but having a house with
only $100/month electric bill, it would take me 13 years for 100%
payback with a $0 monthly bill. So would I be robing Peter{electric
company} to pay Paul {solar panel installer}?

Excellent point: How long DO solar electric panels last??
