Dear Haters, I Have So Much More For You To Be Mad

Boulder CO is trying to pass an initiative that requires all growers to offset 100% of their power use with solar or wind. That green enough for ya?

thats bullshit! imagine the start up costs?

i remember, at a hydro show, a flatbed tractor trailer full of solar panels for sale. if i remember correctly, it was in the neighborhood of $40k? and it was enough for 10k worth of lights......

That would also destroy the hobby grower. Unless cheap turnkey solar systems are developed, it would deter a lot of folks from signing on.

That'll pass... Sure.

Right after they pass something that requires giant flat-screens to be 100% offset with stationary treadmills.

To them I say... Good luck!

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

yeah and then you would be growing for free for the rest of your life...........

unless of course you waste your money on those bottles of shit.... then you would still have to pay for that.

let's put it this way, using any renewable energy to power your grow will be a huge investment but will be an even bigger reward...
 
most of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels.locally or industrially.
i would LOVE to power a grow room with solar panels! keeps you off the grid!
