SOLAR PANEL PRICES DROPPING FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT

This month, selling solar panels is like selling pork belly futures on the Chicago Board of Trade, because price drops are that hard to follow. Grid parity is the ultimate economic stimulus for solar energy, right? Soon enough, we won't need incentives, tax rebates, feed-in tariffs. etc.

With state governments having budget problems, it's not unlikely that some green energy programs will get suspended or scrapped. So we just may have a window of opportunity to walk through now rather than later.

START A SOLAR FUND FOR YOURSELF
Here's what I think. Ditch your 401k for a few years, cut out the latte, stop paying for the premium cable channels, and START YOUR OWN PERSONAL SOLAR SAVINGS FUND. That's investing in your own energy independence, with an easy-to-prove, positive, 10-15% return on investment.

Or just drop the dime now on a solar power system, while the window is open.

Watch smugly, while late adopters suffer through ten percent (or more) annual inflation buying dirty electricity from the former power monopolists.

OWN YOUR ELECTRICITY FUTURE
WHAT IF you had locked in the price of power twenty years ago? You'd be able to retire faster than the folks who lost funds and bailout money to Citibank types, who are spending your retirement and tax money on $50 million personal jets, if they can get away with it.

What happened to that missing $55 trillion again? Instead of growing smartly as a nest egg, it's been drained away by the shenigans of the financial elites.

It appears they drained it off when we weren't looking, and stashed in away in second homes, personal luxury goods, real estate, etc.

GUARANTEED RETIREMENT: FLAT-PANELED ROOFTOP POWER PLANTS
Put your retirement on your roof, where you can see it. Where it will reduce your utility bill the day you put it in, with a 25-year warranty on top of that.

You won't get a warranty on a 401k.
