A lot of people complain about the cost of electricity and outages but I think it's absolutely amazing, you can get it out in the sticks in many places and it just works, not to mention we can't live without it at this stage and it's key to so many things we use,(reply>), Those complaints aren't as easy to ignore just by the amazement of the achievement 6 years later!!!,(reply>), Yeah we get the worlds most uninteresting weather,(reply>), People here just seem to accept the cold too much, although we love our jumpers so those save money too. We never use air conditioning though since it'd be so rarely used. Also that was bad of Germany! Should've stuck with nuclear to begin with and spent wayyy less. Nuclear energy is absolutely amazing but people get silly ideas about why it's not, it's worth anyone who doubts it seeing how little it takes to generate that immense power,(reply>), Ha yeah, I do wonder if it's worth it in the UK, but it's good as a backup I think, maybe not as your main thing. I just like the idea of being self sufficient but really i can't fully justify it. The tech is getting better though I guess,(reply>), I hear both, i've heard it's good and i've heard it's bad, to me though being able to harness it very remotely is what grabs me
