How to get screwed with solar. The VAST majority of door to door solar sales have a priority to get you to sign on the line for a loan. They don't give a damn about production or shade. They will show you the modeled production without accounting for shade issues.
Warning signs:
1)salesman wants to talk about how much he can reduce your bill instead of kWh. This is the equivalent of a car salesman discussing monthly payments instead of the actual price of the car.
2)They do not use their own install crew. They will sub the job out. This means that when the crew shows up, their incentive is to get those panels on the roof and get down the road. I've heard horror stories about the salesman sold a number of panels and all won't fit due to roof easement requirements, so the installers will put them in another place. Keep in mind, the installers are paid for the job and don't give a damn about the install.
2a)if there's a roof leak, the solar company will tell you to call the installer. But you didn't contract the installer or even pay him so he won't respond to you.
3)The sales place will set you up with two loans. There will be a short term 0% apr loan for 18 months for the portion of your system that applies to hte tax credit. But if you can't claim the entire tax credit in one year, you gotta roll the tax over. But the loan will revert to 30% interest from day 0 if you don't pay if off in 18 months.
3a)The balance of hte system will be put on a 20 year loan and a lien will be placed on your house. When you sell your house, that loan will be satisified out of the equity in your home. There is no obligation of teh buyer to take on that loan.

The remains are believed to be those of 59-year-old Gabriel Batista, who had previously been swept away in raging floodwaters. His ring was found inside the animal along with six other pairs of shoes.

📢 🇺🇸 🚷 Congressman Andy Ogles on X:
Excited to announce that my 83-page ASSIMILATION Act has been introduced.
Months of labor were undertaken by my staff, Senator Tuberville and myself in order to GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, as well as scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s.
The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion.
This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill.
Some other things it does:
• National Interest Standard
• Stringent Character Tests
• Mandatory E-Verify
• Ends Chain Migration
• Ends Diversity Lottery
• GUTS Birthright Citizenship
• WAY Tougher Asylum Standards
• Stronger Public Charge Rules
• 10 Year Citizenship Requirement
• English & American Civics PROFICIENCY

BREAKING: US data center construction spending jumped +34% YoY in March, to a record $50 billion annualized rate.
Spending on data centers is up +437% since the beginning of 2021, when the annualized rate stood at ~$9 billion.
This is also up +688% since the start of 2018, when the annualized rate was just ~$6 billion.
Meanwhile, office building construction spending fell -9% YoY in March, to $46 billion, the lowest since 2015.
This means that spending on data centers now exceeds office building construction by $4 billion, or +9%.
To put this into perspective, office construction spending exceeded data center spending by $65 billion, or +650%, in 2020.
AI is fundamentally transforming the US economy.
