I live in an area where there is no electrical service; so I installed a solar system. There are some drawbacks to this technology, but on the whole, I prefer it as I don't depend on a politically riddled system for my electrical needs. My county is currently debating the installation of a solar farm near where I live. Most of us are in favor of it, but there are a few with the not-in-by-backyard frame of mind who are putting up a real resistance. They have brought in the Sierra Club and a few other environmental groups to stop its installation. The solar company must fight through a constantly growing list of imposed environmental studies. It is a mystery to me why the Sierra Club would fight this as solar is non-polluting. A while back, this county had a real fight over allowing fracking. There is a great concern over the possible contamination of our aquifer. As it turned out, fracking was outlawed here. Solar technology is in its infancy, and if there is a growing possibility of profit, the technology will grow to a point where solar can compete with oil. I have heard that one research company has made panels that will convert electromagnetic static into usable current. That means these panels will produce electricity day and night, rain or shine. Before these things can happen, there must be the promise of a profitable business. That is how technology evolves. Whether or not today's solar industry is a profitable investment is beyond my knowing, but I do hope those who do invest in it will profit handsomely.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
