    Does solar power use some rare earth minerals and stuff like that? They own those, but you probably need them for nuclear and others

          I mean, a teenage boy scout once built something like an amateur reactor in a shed in his parents backyard shed, so I see nothing wrong with a tractor on the roof or in a basement.

        There’s not necessarily a need for batteries. I’m generating energy and use it up directly, and inject the overage back into the grid against a compensation, and then at night or during times of heavy cloud coverage, I draw power from the grid pretty much on par with the money I received. So far it’s a zero sum game or slightly profitable.

          Ok cool. So you outsourced the battery needs to someone else. Good job. Hey I figured out how to fix global warming, all we need to do is move all the stuff that causes it to different countries.

          Didn’t address the controls I noticed.
