« Is there a way to install solar panels on my house, and sell the surplus energy to someone else?
how many barrels of oil does it take to make a solar panel? »

If Obama gave Wal-Marts a tax cut for installing solar panels could it help the economy?

This what i think.

If Obama gave wal-marts tax cuts for installing solar panels it would… 1 create jobs for the people that would be installing them & the company making them. 2 give jobs to people to maintain the panels clean & working properly. 3 they could reduce the energy that they are using to power their stores which would be good for the environment & the stores.

OVER 3,500 Wal-Marts exist in the USA!!!!
By each wal-mart installing a minimum of 3 panels they would be installing over 10500 panels all together. u cant tell me that wouldn’t be good for the environment & the economy by putting some people to work & a little is better than nothing!

tell me what you guys think about this.

It would create jobs, the workers would have an income and would spend the money. The people receiving the money would spend money. It all keeps the economy going.

    I think this.

    The government gets money three ways.

    1) Taxation.
    2) Borrowing.
    3) Printing.

    If Obama gave the largest retail chain a tax cut for installing solar panels, then the government would have to take money from somebody else….

    That somebody would be you, me, and my children.

    Now, would you like to contribute $400 of your own money to give to Wal-Mart right now so that multi-billion dollar company can adorn solar panels on Wal-Mart?

    Didn’t think so.

    (By the way it would take at least 100 - 125W panels to even put a dent in Wal-Marts electric bill - not to mention cables, inverters, and the grid tie system)

    125w panels are about $900 each, brackets, cables, inverters, and battery banks all extra. Would be in incredibly expensive project.

    I believe there is a Wal-Mart that put solar panels on its roof, by the way.

    But Wal-Mart can get the investment tax credit like any other business, a credit which is available already today. There may be 3500 Wal-Marts, but there could be on the order of a million small businesses, and on the order of a hundred million homes, all eligible for solar incentives that exist today.
