If these people were seeking community acceptance, they should have rotting eaves and flaking paint like the rest of us! :lol:

On our big picture, long view plan for things to do to our house, adding some solar collectors is actually on the list. But a metal roof with the thin film on it is the only way to go. More efficient, won’t shatter during the first spring hail storm, won’t get ripped off by high winds, and once the new manufacturing plants get up to speed will be much cheaper.

And we won’t have to cut down any trees, because our roof gets more than enough sun (like all day). I would never cut down trees to install solar panels. It’s stupid.

That whole fascination with solar collectors came and went in a few short years during the 1970′s here in NM. Those alienated souls who must worship at the altar of technology, or man over nature, are always having to realign their faith as newer crap becomes available for conspicuous consumption. It might have been VCRs or Intellivision back then.

People get advanced degrees in marketing just to be better at manipulating Anglo-Saxon need for self-pride and community acceptance. If you want to see it in a nutshell, look at the electronics for sale section of craigslist. Page after page of technocrap and buyers’ remorse jumping off the screen.
