The MTBF for many Solar Panels has been seen to be about 10 to 12 years, depending on climate, weather and other variables. Some as low as 7 years.
The typical home needs around a $15,000 8kw install with batteries to run 24/7.
The break even R.O.I. Payback Period is about 11.5 to 14 Years depending on state, federal, incentives and other inducements .
BTW: A 2 ac field with over 100 Solar Panels was placed in front of Cross Creek HS in Augusta, Ga. It lasted 1 week and was removed.
[Breitbart] A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American Express to fly migrants into the United States.
The NGO, called Welcome.US, was initially launched to work with President Joe Biden’s administration in resettling some 85,000 Afghans across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022, as Breitbart News reported extensively at the time.
For its Afghan operation, the NGO helped fly close to 20,000 Afghans to American communities funded by millions raised from donations and supported by corporate backers like Walmart, Airbnb, the New York Times, the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Starbucks, the Washington Post, Goldman Sachs, Goodwill Industries, Microsoft, and Chobani.
The NGO also has ties to billionaire George Soros, as members of his Open Society Foundation sit on the group’s “National Welcome Council.”
Now, the NGO is teaming up with the open borders group Miles4Migrants as well as American Express Global Business Travel to fund flights to American communities for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Nicaragua.
“Donations are needed to fund the flights for newcomers to travel to the United States,” the initiative’s webpage states:
Those forced to flee often leave behind all but what they can carry, and the costs of international travel can be prohibitive. Welcome Connect Travel removes the cost of travel as a barrier for both sponsors in the United States and the displaced families they are supporting through humanitarian sponsorship. [Emphasis added]
With the average cost of a single flight at $1,600, public donations through our partner Miles4Migrants will help provide a lifeline to newcomers, giving them the opportunity to safely travel to their new communities. Donate below to help newcomers access safe travel. [Emphasis added]
The NGO’s flights for migrants are meant to complement a program created by President Joe Biden’s administration this year where 360,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua will be admitted to the United States annually via an expansive parole pipeline which has already helped release about a million migrants into American communities from 2021 to 2022.
During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.
[NYPOST] The State Department stonewalled Friday when confronted with the revelation that Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s outreach inspired the October 2020 letter by 51 former intelligence officials that cast doubt on The Post’s reporting on first son Hunter Biden’s laptop.
"That is not a State Department issue," front man Vedant Patel said when asked about ex-CIA acting director Michael Morell’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee — first reported late Thursday by The Post — that Blinken had "triggered" the now-notorious missive. "So I don’t have a comment for you on that."
When a news hound told Patel that "it’s not clear who else outside of the department we could ask" about Morell’s statement, the front man again said: "It is not a State Department issue, and I don’t really have a comment on this from the State Department."
Later in the briefing, a second journalist noted that Blinken "is the person that is currently serving as the secretary of state" before asking: "What do these claims from this former CIA official, as well as the letter from the House Judiciary Committee, mean in terms of the public trust in his position as secretary of state?"
"Again, this is not an issue that is an issue of the State Department," Patel repeated. "It has naught to do with US foreign policy or the work of this department so I don’t have a comment for you on this.
The exchange occurred shortly before CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... and Fox News reported that Hunter Biden;s lawyers are preparing to meet last week with US attorney for Delaware David Weiss. On Wednesday, the IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... agent supervising a long-running investigation of the first son for tax evasion and related crimes alleged a coverup in the case.
Biden cited the spooks’ letter at the second and final presidential debate against then-President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... , alleging falsely that the information disclosed by The Post — and later broadly corroborated — was the result of a "Russian plant."
"There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant," Biden said at the time. "Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except [Trump’s] good friend Rudy Giuliani."
The House Judiciary Committee Republicans’ official account tweeted out a clip of Biden’s comments from the debate Friday, with the message: "It was always a lie."
Republicans on Capitol Hill were enraged by Morell’s disclosure, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who called the letter "a political operation" that "became the basis for suppressing the story and keeping it from the American people just days before the most important election that we have, the election for president of the United States."

Of course DoS remains silent. It is little more than a Klingon second home.
[NYPOST] New state Health Department figures on COVID deaths show that then-Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo’s leadership was even deadlier than New Yorkers knew.
The new stats put the pandemic’s first-year toll at 36,337 — up 21% from what the state had admitted.
The Cuomoites only counted deaths in hospitals, care homes and similar facilities, and that practice continued even after he was hounded from office — until now.
At last, the numbers include death-certificate info to count deaths at home, as the federal Centers for Disease Control and the city Health Department did all along.
This increases the 2020 downstate total by 6,283 lost lives.
This more-honest count shows that COVID was the city’s leading cause of death in 2020 and the No. 2 cause statewide.
Why hide the truth? Because it undercut Cuomo’s image as the heroic man-in-charge, a narrative that helped him score a $5.1 million advance for his book "American Crisis" (largely written by staff "volunteering" their time as COVID still raged).
In the wake of his orders forcing care homes to admit contagious patients, Cuomo & Co. also undercounted deaths in those homes, eventually pleading to state politicians that they feared a federal probe by the Trump Justice Department.
Cuomo is now pulling out all the stops in a bid to regain public support. This info should remind the people of New York that he doesn’t deserve it.
Worse is to come, when (if?) the Hochul administration finally makes public its long-delayed assessment of the Cuomo-era response to COVID.

But AZ ranks #1 for deaths per Million population.(4,585 p/mil)
Could it be more infections coming from South of the Border? Or just more honest reporting?

Say what you want about this weasel but I must confess to a certain admiration for Democrat party discipline. No way in hell would Barr have done anything like this for Trump.

[MSN] Ousted reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous former Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rose she blamed the guns, which are banned anyway... called on Democrat mayors to "speak the truth" on violent mostly peaceful crime in their cities amid the crime spike in Chicago.Well, let me pick up, let me pick up where
While speaking on a panel at the African American Mayors Association Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Lightfoot called on Democrat mayors to address the growing crime in their cities.
"As Democrats, if we do not speak the truth about violent mostly peaceful crime in our cities, we will be the worse for it," Lightfoot said.
"I come to this conversation as a former federal prosecutor. I come to this as a former defense attorney, I am the sister of a returning resident," Lightfoot continued. "But I know that there are people in my city that are wreaking havoc every day and need to be off the streets. That’s reality."
"What do we say to, not only the victims of crime, but the people who are terrified about crimes in their neighborhood, most of whom look like us. If we say, ’yeah, the police department is spending all this time and resources to arrest, put a case on,’ and the judges and the prosecutors say, ’you know what? We’re going to let you out on electronic monitoring to wreak havoc again.’"
Lightfoot asked if "somebody musters the courage to come forward and identify the person who just shot up their neighborhood, and then sees Pookie walking bold as day back on the street two days later, what does that say to them?"
"You’re telling them that the criminal justice system doesn’t care about victims and witnesses," Lightfoot said. "And if we don’t call that out every single day with these prosecutors and with these judges, many of whom don’t live in our cities and don’t care about what’s happening, then we are going to lose an opportunity to advocate for the victims and the witnesses and the residents who just want and deserve peace."
"We gotta say it," she added. "We gotta say it."
Lightfoot’s comments come as she heads toward the end of her time as Chicago’s mayor, becoming the first mayor in 40 years not to get re-elected.
Crime has spiked in the Windy City under Lightfoot’s leadership and played a central role in the 2023 mayoral election.
Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson warned against vilifying youth while condemning a chaotic "Teen Takeover" of the Loop over the weekend, which saw hundreds of young people descend on the downtown area for two nights in a row.
Two teenage males, ages 16 and 17, were shot while standing in a crowd during the mayhem on Saturday night, as hundreds of young people smashed cars, blocked traffic, and fought in the streets. Both victims were transported to a hospital and listed in fair condition, according to Fox 32 Chicago.

Sure, you say that now.

The trouble with freedom?
"Dumb guns!"
Not fatherless mothers whose sons

The wasted gray matter
Of others, their brothers?
"And nuns!"
[JUSTTHENEWS] A former acting CIA director has admitted to Congress that he organized the letter that falsely portrayed Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation in an effort to influence the 2020 election in favor of Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences... and that he did so at the direction of current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to a letter released Thursday by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
The extraordinary admission by career intelligence officer Michael J. Morell provides stunning evidence that the now-infamous letter from 51 security officials in October 2020 was not an organic intelligence community initiative but rather a political dirty trick originating with Blinken and the Biden campaign.
Jordan sent a letter demanding Blinken answer a series of questions about Morell's stunning testimony, as politicians weighed the enormity of America's top diplomat being willing to accuse a nuclear-armed superpower of interfering in the 2020 election without evidence. That letter included major snippets of Morell's testimony.
Morell, who retired as deputy CIA director after a long and storied career and served as its acting chief, was on the short list in fall 2020 to be Biden's CIA director when he became involved in the letter. He ultimately did not receive the job.
In a transcribed interview with the House Judiciary government weaponization subcommittee, Morell admitted he got involved with the letter at Blinken's request and later received a call from the Biden campaign thanking him when Joe Biden used the letter and its false implication to blunt criticism of Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings
The transcript of Morell's interview showed he had no intent to write the statement and that Blinken's "call triggered" his actions.
The same day Blinken reached out to Morell, an article was published in USA Today alleging that the FBI was looking into the laptop as part of a "disinformation campaign."
"Morell testified that his communication with you was one of a few communications he had with the Biden campaign, explaining that he also received a call from Steve Ricchetti, Chairman of the Biden campaign, following the October 22 debate to thank him for writing the letter," Jordan wrote Blinken.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday said House Republicans want to fill cities with smog and give asthma to children.
Karine Jean-Pierre trashed Republicans ahead of Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... ’s announcement to sign an executive order on ’environmental justice.’
The affirmative action White House spox claimed House Speaker McCarthy’s plan will poison children and literally melt bones.
"[McCarthy’s plan] is a 320 page plan to kill jobs, fill our cities with smog and give asthma to our children," Karine Jean-Pierre said.

"The proposal would repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s green energy ... the attempt to produce energy without using fossil fuel. The preferred methods are solar, wind, geothermal, phlogiston, philosophers' stones, and rattling bears' teeth. The approach with the most promise involves attaching generators to perpetual motion machines, but using Words of Power to summon energy-rich demons may also work. The green in the term refers to the vast number of dollars that have been thrown at the problem since 1973 with indifferent results... tax credits, sending thousands of jobs back to China. It would make it easier for oil companies to use toxic chemicals that cause severe burns, damage people’s eyes, and quite literally melt bones," she added.
Karine Jean-Pierre claimed we would go back to a time where cities would be filled with smog and dirty air that ’poison the lungs of our children.’
