And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Might not be a bad idea. Pull a trailer covered in solar panels and windmills.
The solar generator I built: 3 600 watt panels, an EPEver 3210 30 amp MPPT controller, a WZRELB 2500 watt inverter, a 24 volt 100 amp hour battery, and various circuit breakers, battery monitor, et cetera. Basically, one power outlet. I started out to build power for my truck camper, realized everything but the battery and panels would fit into a roll around tool box, and built it into a plastic box
That's like the genius that invented an electric appliance to convert plastic back into cooking fuel. The only problem is that it produced less than 1,000BTU of fuel per kWh.
I just got a solar generator. It's never going to replace gas.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a solar generator? A Panel & a battery?

ReplyDeleteThat or a REALLY long extension cord.
ReplyDeleteBetter hitch up Rudolph, the red-nosed unicorn and his gal-pal Olive, the other unicorn just in case.
