what is the cheapest way to harness solar energy?

We Answered:

I take it you are referring to solar panels? forgive me if I am wrong. You can google solar panels and find lots of sites that tell you how to build home made ones. They are not the best and no where near the quality that you can get for 100's of thousands of dollars, but they are efficient enough to help out and for the price I think it is a better deal.

Gabriel Said:

I wasn't a fan of solar energy, as the capital investment far outweighed the savings.?

We Answered:

That's why wind generators are more cost effective. You also picked the most expensive kind of solar. There is a company in Michigan that produces a less expensive version with glass, amorphous glass. Google it.

What should congress do to cut energy usuage?

We Answered:

If congress wanted to cut energy usage they should start a war on energy conservation. It will be as successful as the other government wars: the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on terror, the war in Serbia on the side of Osama bin Laden, Vietnam, the war in Afghanistan where the US govt supported the Taliban, WW1 which led to the rise of Hitler in Germany, WW2 which gave rise to USSR as a superpower and gave half of Europe to the communists, prohibition (aka the war on alcohol), etc.

The govt fails at everything it does, so going to war against energy conservation should drastically cut energy consumption.
