Great Depression of 2016

Lower U.S. energy costs is also bringing business here.

Don't worry. Obama is taking care of that. No pipeline, no fracking, but we can have all of the solar panels the Chinese can build.

Ask President Obama. He's the one promoting the installation of solar panels from China.

I can't help wondering just how those panels would hold up in a bad hail storm? On the bright side, now Wally World and a lot of other shopping places and government offices have solar units over their parking areas. Shade is at a premium here in Arizona. It will probably be 120 degrees today.

If they are mounted correctly they hold up just fine.

Go read about the requirements for the very tax incentive programs for putting in solar. Note the absence of any suggestion that one's wind or solar power modules be manufactured in the US.

Watch the last 30 seconds or so of this video...

Do you think people are just used to buying Chinese stuff that so much and not caring about their neighbors jobs ?

Hmmm! That guy dancing on top of the RV is liable to break his neck.

The panels I see being installed over parking areas here seem to be much more durable as to being tied down. They are in aluminum frames. I wonder how long until some crack head starts stealing the metal.

But the panels seem to be more glassy than those in the video. I hope they can stand up to a hail storm.

Plastics break down real bad here. Dashboards of cars melt and deteriorate. Trim pieces glued on with some boogery substance fall off.
