Long term we are all dead.

It might cost less long term, but only if you're going to be in that house long term - 7+ years according to my calculations when I was contemplating such a system.

You'll never get the money back when you sell.

The other concern I have had for rooftop PV is hail storms, which we get a lot of in the US midwest. Nobody will insure the damn things because of it.

Finally, when the roof needs to be torn off and replaced, moving solar panels adds a massive expense to the job.

The siren song of negative electric bills keeps me wondering though....

Submission + - The US Space Force wants a space based aircraft carrier (newatlas.com)

wiggles writes: The US Space Force has a contract worth up to US$60 million to develop and fly a kind-of aircraft carrier in space. With Russia and China both pursuing very aggressive policies to develop weapons on both the ground and in space designed to disable or destroy Western satellites,the Space Force needs to have assets in the form of maneuverable spacecraft in orbit at all times â" not as individual vehicles, but stored in a mothership that can launch them as needed, rather like the fictional Battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5, though not quite as cool.

Wait and see. The challenge system implemented a couple of years ago really did help the game. Challenging tag calls and such seems to be working well.

Hopefully the ball/strike calls help in the same way, and don't simply provide fodder for people to complain when they don't like their calls.
