Freaking Fantastic

Solar Power is amazing and in most cases isn't the primary electrical source. Square footage as you say is a huge factor. I have a very small house that is only about 1200 square feet. The panels don't put out that much energy. Therefore, you are more conscious of your power usage. You still have to make sacrifices to run on complete solar.

My friend is a mechanic and he converted it to electric. He didn't have much experience, but he purchased a conversion kit. The price for the kit can range from 10K and up. The batteries can also be pricey. Your best to get a junked car that is very lightweight. That will help converse your battery charge and get the most out of your electric car. Besides the price of the kit, mechanics can charge from 3-5K labor for doing the conversion. I visited my friend a few times during the conversion and he did say that the beginner kits aren't that hard to follow. You can also buy already converted cars online or even ebay. Oh the car that is converted should be a manual transmission too. The automatic transmission will eat too much electricity.

 

Agreed,Im just as concerned with the dispersants they are using just as much as the oil.The ocean has been such a huge part of my life and I can't imagine not being able to do the things that I love doing anymore but it might be a reality soon.I hope that a few of you guys have change your views on offshore drilling off our coast.Human error does happen.
