EnergySage has released its 18th semiannual Solar & Storage Marketplace Report which analyzes homeowner shopping transactions on EnergySage.com during 2023 for solar panels, inverters and batteries from solar companies in 41 states and Washington, D.C.
One item the report found is that for the first time since mid-2021, solar prices decreased on the EnergySage Marketplace, dropping by 3.5% to $2.80 per watt. Quoted storage prices also fell by 6.4% on EnergySage in the second half of the year, decreasing for the first time since the company began tracking prices in 2020.
“The home electrification industry faced a challenging year in 2023 amidst a changing net metering landscape and persistent inflation,” says EnergySage COO Charlie Hadlow. “However, EnergySage Marketplace data shows a turning point could be just around the corner, with consumer demand holding strong and diversifying, while solar and storage prices have decreased. The latest EnergySage report provides a unique perspective for this dynamic but resilient moment in the industry, both from the installer and homeowner perspectives.”

Lying to Morons about Crime Rates
Basing a claim on a single incident, e.g., the murder of Charlie Kirk, has no real validity.
So, here’s was AI says on the matter:
Violent crime, particularly homicide and gun violence, is significantly higher in the United States compared to Europe.
The U.S. homicide rate fluctuates between 5.5 and 6.5 per 100,000 residents, whereas most Western European countries see rates well below 2.0 per 100,000. A resident of the U.S. is generally 5 – 6 times more likely to be a victim of a homicide than someone living in Western Europe.

Life in America Is Ruthless
The meme here speaks volumes to life in the United States and free market capitalism as a whole.
I happened to have met the guy who, in the 1990s, tried to build railways that would connect Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. One day he got a phone call from Herb Kelleher, co-founder and former CEO of Southwest Airlines, who told him, “The fare between any of the major cities in Texas is $80. The day you drive your first spike in the ground, I’m lowering it to $8.”
American businesspeople are no more interested in the wellbeing of our people than they have in being diagnosed with cancer.
If you’re wondering why there is so much pushback against renewable energy and other elements of climate change mitigation, you really don’t to look much further.

Evaluating California and its Governor
Hmm. He’s the governor of the most populous state in the country, whose revenues, if it were a country, would make it the fourth largest economy on Earth. His state ranks in the top five in terms of colleges and universities. We’re wealthy, well-educated, and extremely productive.
It’s true that he’s not a Trump supporter, but California (and the rest of the world) generally regards the current U.S. president as a criminal sociopath.
Yes, that infuriates folks who are poor, ignorant, racist, and disease-ridden, but generally speaking, it doesn’t bother Californians.
