[MBZ] OT: Solar power for electric cars? Not in the South.
South has tons of sun but rules that cloud solar industry Florida is one of several states, mostly in the Southeast, that combine copious sunshine with extensive rules designed to block its use by homeowners to generate solar power. Few places in the country are as warm and bright as Mary Wilkerson’s property on the beach near St. Petersburg, Fla., a city once noted in the Guinness World Records for a 768-day stretch of sunny days. But while Florida advertises itself as the Sunshine State, power-company executives and regulators have worked successfully to keep most Floridians from using that sunshine to generate their own power. Wilkerson discovered the paradox when she set out to harness sunlight into electricity for the vintage cottages she rents out at Indian Rocks Beach. She would have had an easier time installing solar panels, she found, if she had put the homes on a flatbed and transported them to chilly Massachusetts. “My husband and I are looking at each other and saying, ‘This is absurd,’ ” said Wilkerson, whose property is so sunny that a European guest under doctor’s orders to treat sunlight deprivation returns every year. The guest, who has solar panels on his home in Germany, is bewildered by their scarcity in a place with such abundant light. Florida is one of several states, mostly in the Southeast, that combine copious sunshine with extensive rules designed to block its use by homeowners to generate power. States like Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York — not known for clear, blue skies — have outpaced their counterparts to the south in the installation of rooftop solar panels. While the precise rules vary from state to state, one explanation is the same: opposition from utilities grown nervous by the rapid encroachment of solar firms on their business. The business models that have made solar systems financially viable for millions of homeowners in California, New England and elsewhere around the country are largely illegal in Florida, Virginia, South Carolina and some other Southern states. Companies that pioneered the industry, such as SolarCity and Sunrun, do not even attempt to do business there. “We get all kinds of inquiries every day” from the South, said Will Craven, spokesman for SolarCity. “People there want to be our customers.” Florida, in particular, is known as the “sleeping giant” of his industry, Craven said. “It has a ton of sunshine, a ton of rooftops,” he said. “But there is no rooftop-solar industry in Florida.” In South Carolina and Virginia combined, only a few hundred homes have solar panels, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. New Jersey has 21,500; California, 234,600. *Lease agreements* Under the typical business model for the solar industry, homeowners sign lease agreements with installation companies. The homeowners pay the cost of the panels over time and sell any excess power the systems generate. Along with tax breaks and other government incentives, the lease agreements have made solar installations increasingly affordable. States where solar thrives typically pay homeowners attractive rates for the excess power they generate and require utilities to get a considerable share of their power from renewable sources. That gives companies an incentive to promote use of solar. Southern states, several of which cherish low electricity rates afforded by extensive use of coal, typically have far fewer solar incentives. Several also have rules that specifically discourage homeowners from going solar. In addition to the bans and restrictions on leasing arrangements, some Southern states assess taxes and fees on solar equipment and generation that do not exist elsewhere. When Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., installed solar panels a few years ago, for example, the local utility, Dominion Virginia Power, threatened legal action. The utility said that only it could sell electricity in its service area. The university and the solar firm it worked with had to change their lease arrangement and forfeit valuable tax credits. Soon after, in South Carolina, objections from another utility forced the cancellation of about 80 contracts under which a solar firm had planned to provide panels free of charge to churches and school districts. The resulting backlash forced a change in the state’s law, but a limited one. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley last week signed a bill that directed regulators to establish rules under which leasing would be permitted. The details still need to be worked out, however, and solar firms worry the rules will be heavily influenced by electric companies that will insist on provisions to discourage installations. For now, many homeowners and businesses that want to install panels are in the same predicament as Wilkerson. Finding no viable option to lease a system in Florida, she is exploring paying cash to buy one

I had offered him $700 for the car as-is, which he rejected, as the new potential buyers had offered him $900 after he had shared my offer with them. Definitely a good negotiator here.

In the last few weeks if you were driving between Minnesota and California, you may have been passed by a motorcycle with an exhaust that smelled like fried bacon.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar power for electric cars? Not in the South.
On the other side of that coin, Arizona has now laws that over-ride any HOA rules and with great specificity, state that any home, any where can, at the desire of the homeowner, install as much solar as they wish. New EPA rules [I believe, some government agency, perhaps Dept of Energy, who can keep them sorted] now requires that 15% of all electricity sold must come from alternative energy sources by 2015, by 2020 that number rises to 25%, I believe. The two power companies in Arizona, SRP APS, both have active programs to buy all power from homeowners with grid tie solar systems. They have until just recently, offered a cash rebate to owners who installed solar systems with said grid tie, to help defray the costs. It has been extremely popular. Good city friend installed a 10.5 KW solar system on his roof, with grid tie, and now sells more electricity than he buys. His power bill went from about $400 per month [summer air condition in AZ] to roughly $80 per month. The solar system he installed is on a lease/purchase contract. $100 down and $130 per month over 25 years, transferable should he sell the house. It works, and works well.. as soon as sun comes up, he runs his swimming pool pump and AC on sunlight [both high current draw items]. It does help that AZ has an average of 262 solar days each year. For once, government here, got it right... for now.. Ecce panis angelorum eluceat omnibus lux. ex animo Grant...

Few places in the country are as warm and bright as Mary Wilkerson’s property on the beach near St. Petersburg, Fla., a city once noted in the Guinness World Records for a 768-day stretch of sunny days. But while Florida advertises itself as the Sunshine State, power-company executives and regulators have worked successfully to keep most Floridians from using that sunshine to generate their own power. Wilkerson discovered the paradox when she set out to harness sunlight into electricity for the vintage cottages she rents out at Indian Rocks Beach. She would have had an easier time installing solar panels, she found, if she had put the homes on a flatbed and transported them to chilly Massachusetts. “My husband and I are looking at each other and saying, ‘This is absurd,’ ” said Wilkerson, whose property is so sunny that a European guest under doctor’s orders to treat sunlight deprivation returns every year. The guest, who has solar panels on his home in Germany, is bewildered by their scarcity in a place with such abundant light. Florida is one of several states, mostly in the Southeast, that combine copious sunshine with extensive rules designed to block its use by homeowners to generate power. States like Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York — not known for clear, blue skies — have outpaced their counterparts to the south in the installation of rooftop solar panels. While the precise rules vary from state to state, one explanation is the same: opposition from utilities grown nervous by the rapid encroachment of solar firms on their business. The business models that have made solar systems financially viable for millions of homeowners in California, New England and elsewhere around the country are largely illegal in Florida, Virginia, South Carolina and some other Southern states. Companies that pioneered the industry, such as SolarCity and Sunrun, do not even attempt to do business there. “We get all kinds of inquiries every day” from the South, said Will Craven, spokesman for SolarCity. “People there want to be our customers.” Florida, in particular, is known as the “sleeping giant” of his industry, Craven said. “It has a ton of sunshine, a ton of rooftops,” he said. “But there is no rooftop-solar industry in Florida.” In South Carolina and Virginia combined, only a few hundred homes have solar panels, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. New Jersey has 21,500; California, 234,600. *Lease agreements* Under the typical business model for the solar industry, homeowners sign lease agreements with installation companies. The homeowners pay the cost of the panels over time and sell any excess power the systems generate. Along with tax breaks and other government incentives, the lease agreements have made solar installations increasingly affordable. States where solar thrives typically pay homeowners attractive rates for the excess power they generate and require utilities to get a considerable share of their power from renewable sources. That gives companies an incentive to promote use of solar. Southern states, several of which cherish low electricity rates afforded by

Re: [MBZ] headlight brightness, 123 126

Re: [MBZ] headlight brightness, 123 126
What Peter said. The headlights on these cars are woefully inadequate even for their time, and border on being dangerous when driving the car at highway speeds, in my opinion. My R129 (SL500) has the same lights as the W124, and I might as well be holding a candle in front of a reflector. It's about as efficient as these headlights... You can find OE Euro headlights from some guys in Eastern Europe at fairly reasonable prices. Another very low cost but high return item is to use relays to switch the headlights so you can run heavy duty wiring, By doing this you almost eliminate voltage drop and can utilize high wattage (80/100) lamps as well. As I used to like to say, I can melt the soccer mom's Ford Explorer bumper in front of me with a headlight setup like this. The difference is nothing short of night and day.

Re: [MBZ] headlight brightness, 123 126
Not to be wise but perhaps its time for an eye exam. As we age our vision does tend to dim... I find the post 123 cars to have excellent headlights. Does your SDL have sealed beam lights? If not are the lenses plastic? If they are then polishing might make them brighter. For the CD I've read that Euro lights though costly are much brighter. Brighter is not always better, if you've got lights so bright they blind me that doesn't make you safer. One other thought is to make sure they're aimed properly. -Curt From: Ralph Robertson via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2014 2:35 PM Subject: [MBZ] headlight brightness, 123 126 I have a '84 300CD and a '87 300SDL and both vehicles' lights are not bright enough for night driving especially on back roads.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Solar power for electric cars? Not in the South.
I looked into getting solar in Seattle. There are really great incentives to do it. The deal will close in 2015, but I could have save $15k of the cost by sourcing locally made panels and having a deal for buy back from the local power co. State has not extended the support, so now it is not really that great a bargain, as it will not amortize long enough to see a positive return. The morons we vote into office and the career bureaucrats dither and piss themselves instead of actually providing leadership and effective governance. Witness the weed industry mishandling, such that the state has failed to collect the taxes they expected. The idiots got greedy and then screwed up the implementation, so that there was not enough product in the pipeline to generate the massive tax income they thought was coming. The screwed up the initial Lotto program 30 years ago, and it took them a few years to get that straight. Meanwhile, Native Casinos are raking in funds tax free and no longer dependent upon state welfare programs to keep them above water. clay On Aug 17, 2014, at 10:18 AM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: On the other side of that coin, Arizona has now laws that over-ride any HOA rules and with great specificity, state that any home, any where can, at the desire of the homeowner, install as much solar as they wish.

The two power companies in Arizona, SRP APS, both have active programs to buy all power from homeowners with grid tie solar systems. They have until just recently, offered a cash rebate to owners who installed solar systems with said grid tie, to help defray the costs. It has been extremely popular. Good city friend installed a 10.5 KW solar system on his roof, with grid tie, and now sells more electricity than he buys. His power bill went from about $400 per month [summer air condition in AZ] to roughly $80 per month.

Few places in the country are as warm and bright as Mary Wilkerson’s property on the beach near St. Petersburg, Fla., a city once noted in the Guinness World Records for a 768-day stretch of sunny days. But while Florida advertises itself as the Sunshine State, power-company executives and regulators have worked successfully to keep most Floridians from using that sunshine to generate their own power. Wilkerson discovered the paradox when she set out to harness sunlight into electricity for the vintage cottages she rents out at Indian Rocks Beach. She would have had an easier time installing solar panels, she found, if she had put the homes on a flatbed and transported them to chilly Massachusetts. “My husband and I are looking at each other and saying, ‘This is absurd,’ ” said Wilkerson, whose property is so sunny that a European guest under doctor’s orders to treat sunlight deprivation returns every year. The guest, who has solar panels on his home in Germany, is bewildered by their scarcity in a place with such abundant light. Florida is one of several states, mostly in the Southeast, that combine copious sunshine with extensive rules designed to block its use by homeowners to generate power. States like Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York — not known for clear, blue skies — have outpaced their counterparts to the south in the installation of rooftop solar panels. While the precise rules vary from state to state, one explanation is the same: opposition from utilities grown nervous by the rapid encroachment of solar firms on their business. The business models that have made solar systems financially viable for millions of homeowners in California, New England and elsewhere around the country are largely illegal in Florida, Virginia, South Carolina and some other Southern states.

[MBZ] OT: Laughing at Microsoft
LAUGHING AT MICROSOFT Snip...The automated crash reports are a neat way to gain passive access to a targeted machine, the presentation continues. Passive access means that, initially, only data the computer sends out into the Internet is captured and saved, but the computer itself is not yet manipulated. Still, even this passive access to error messages provides valuable insights into problems with a targeted person's computer and, thus, information on security holes that might be exploitable for planting malware or spyware on the unwitting victim's computer. Although the method appears to have little importance in practical terms, the NSA's agents still seem to enjoy it because it allows them to have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the Seattle-based software giant. In one internal graphic, they replaced the text of Microsoft's original error message with one of their own reading, This information may be intercepted by a foreign sigint system to gather detailed information and better exploit your machine.

Also, building a wooden car, such as this one, would be interesting, and it would be a strong contender in an ugly car contest: http://krisdedecker.typepad.com/.a/6a00e0099229e888330120a7d30e2d970b-700wi ** During the 1990s, hydrogen was seen as the alternative fuel of the future. Then, biofuels and compressed air took over its mantle role, while today all the attention is focused on electric cars. If this technology fails, too (and many have serious doubts about it), can we go back to the wood gas car? Despite its industrial appearance, a wood gas car scores rather well from an ecological viewpoint when compared to other alternative fuels. Wood gasification is slightly more effiicient than wood burning, as only 25 percent of the energy content of the fuel is lost. The energy consumption of a woodmobile is around 1.5 times higher than the energy consumption of a similar car powered by gasoline (including the energy lost during the pre-heating of the system and the extra weight of the machinery). If the energy required to mine, transport and refine oil is also taken into account, however, then wood gas is at least as efficient as gasoline. And, of course, wood is a renewable. http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2010/01/wood-gas-cars.html Gerry ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
