I haven't had an LED explode, but I've had two (out of maybe 60+) CFLs blow. With that said, I'm pretty sure the fire risk was less than when an incandescent malfunctions/blows, since those are much...

The problem with your example is that you're starting off with -$10000 in the PV panel comparison. In either situation, you would start out with a +$10000 investment. In one, you put that money into...

It's probably OK for most peple, but I'd feel better if the service was behind SSH with a 2048 or 4096 bit key. 1024 bit keys can probably be broken by most nation-states, and sooner or later by...

My guesstimate is something like 15 years at 10c/kWh, or less if you pay more for electricity. Lets say the 10" tubular skylight provides ~3000 lumens (Site says <4k max) that you would otherwise...
