planetgreen.discovery.com — Ever since Obama shuttered Yucca Mountain, it seems a new site is arising as a contender to be the nation's nuclear waste dump--even though it would most certainly rather not be. It's Savannah, South Carolina.

Why yes, thanks for asking. I DO have solar panels on my roof. Monetarily they'll finish paying for themselves in a few years. I've already gotten a huge return on investment by knowing that I've supported a good idea. This "costs too much" is a bogus argument. What's the return on investment on a new car? That's a money losing proposition.

@sodade: Cite sources. "According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), federal subsidies for conventional coal generated electricity production in 2007 equaled $0.44/MWh (megawatt-hour). The equivalent figure for wind was $23.37 and for solar, $24.34 per MWh."No, this does not discuss natural gas or oil, but it does refute your claim for coal. Prove the others.<a class="user" href="http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2009/11/the-federal-energy-subsidy-scorecard-how-renewables-stack-up" rel="nofollow">http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/artic ...</a>@lettruthout: And I suppose you're driving your solar panels to work? I flat out don't believe your claim, due to the first hand comments on the financial side of owning solar panels of numerous people I know who have tried it.
