Buying a home is a major investment. And choosing a home with an already-installed #SolarEnergy system is a great way to save on energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and increase your home’s #EnergyIndependence. Like any water heater, fridge, or other home appliance, however, there are questions you should ask before signing the dotted line📝:

Pretty impressed at what my new solar panels (and battery) have done to my bills. Installed on 5th June and the last three electricity bills really show the difference...

20th May bill
432kWh used, cost £157.43

20th June
261.2kWh, £101.93

22nd July
46.8kWh, £30.56

Incredible! Plus, in the latest bill I exported 225.7kWh after filling the battery and car, earning £21.59.

The heat pump gets added in September so we'll see how that changes things.

@jwildeboer
This freedom from fossil fuels is inspiring! I’m wondering if it can be scaled up?

Also, I spend a few weeks in southern New Jersey USA each summer, and in the last few years there’s been fierce debate on a plan to build windmill farms 15 miles off the coast. I think this is an electric company project, so are some electric companies in favor of self-sufficiency or are they just trying to monetize it?

We pre-ordered a #Volkswagen #ID4 last year, and it will finally be arriving in two weeks or so. I will be posting updates about our experience with it, as there is very little reference to it in the Mastoverse (probably not a word).

With #RoofTopSolar charging an #EV , we have declared our #EnergyIndependence … because we got sick of waiting for the rest of the country to do it. It feels soooo good to be cutting the biggest tie we can cut with big oil.

The European Union completed a reform on Tuesday that will see energy independence objectives added to the bloc’s €800 billion recovery fund adopted two years ago in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The purpose is to strengthen the strategic autonomy of the EU by diversifying its energy supplies and ending its dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports,” said a statement from the Council of the European Union.

BUT, BUT SLEEPY JOE & THE RADICAL LEFT!
*Translation: #fossilfuels say NO!

#CONServatives ❤️ #socialism -but only for themselves & their donors. They claim to fight for #energyindependence while ensuring slavery to the status quo, as well as to the whims of #autocrats & #warcriminals.

@LolaPoliticka I heard through the grapevine that U.S. Energy Secretary will have a news conference about this breakthrough this coming Tuesday. #GreenEnergy #EnergyIndependence #Mastodon #NewHere

What would you do if you had $44b to blow?

I'd promote #sustainable, #walkable cities and the reinvigoration of the American #downtown through investment, promotion, and local government #lobbying. It addresses many problems all at once -- increases #EnergyIndependence, racial and wealth #equity, and #PublicHealth, while reducing #infrastructure investment costs, the need for #cars, and reliance on #FossilFuels over time.

@keineantwort vollkommen richtig. Wenn du Zu Hause mit Sonne 80% der Zeit lädst, wird das Roadtripp-Laden wesentlich günstiger. #EnergyIndependence

Congratulations zum tollen Solar Dach!

Mooie stap vooruit naar meer #energyindependence.

@frankie I switched almost 6 years ago. For me it was a surprise to see how wasteful we all act.
It is easier to compare kWh to kWh, than litres with kWh. Also 1litre of fuel has a lot of kWh which are wasted into heat and toxic gases.
#ElectricVehicles are only the first step towards #energyindependence
Energy networks are getting cleaner and less CO2 heavy by the day, as prices for oil&gas will only rise and solar panels and batteries are cheaper everyday

5 Ways Biden is Crippling American Energy Independence, March 1, 2022:"The Russian invasion of Ukraine highlights the strategic importance of American energy independence. Unfortunately, President Biden has taken various actions hostile to American Energy development. After campaigning to “get rid of fossil fuels” and promising “no new fracking” during his administration, President Biden."
