Free energy nationwide is a pipe dream. The utility companies, energy companies will simply not allow it. Someone will “own” it. You will pay that owner for usage. Pretty much how it is now. A small amount of people with relatively free or cheaper than dirt clean energy via solar isn’t even a drop in the bucket to worry about.
If we go 100% green in this country you will still pay for electricity.

A wall isn’t stopping thousands of immigrants showing up at points of entry and asking for asylum. The immigration centers on the border are far over capacity. The solution is easy:
1. More space, more beds, etc
2. More immigration judges
3. Speed up the process

Are you really this stupid? Jeh Johnson is not talking about any humanitarian crisis. Do you even read the linked article? Oh, you didn't because it doesn't fit your narrative? Please don't be so stupid and have your radical leftist views clog your brain.
Watch the interview. Jeh Johnson is indeed talking about a humanitarian crisis. I don't remember if he was using those exact words, but that's clearly what he was talking about.

If you want free power, we have the technology today that will make it happen. It is expensive, but there are many wealthy people who do pay the $50,000 to buy a system that will allow them to go "off grid" and generate their own free power. In the long run, it's far cheaper for them to pay the up front cost than to buy electricity from the power company.
The point is that the technology exists and continues to improve. If we all want to take advantage of this technology, we can pass a Green New Deal that will bring free power to everyone.
So it is free once I pay $50K?
If I decide to move, what is the cost of de-installing and re-installing the system?
If I pay $150/month for power, it will only take 27+ years to recoup that cost. I'm sure there would be maintenance or replacement costs along the way as well during those 25+ years.
Crazy.
You are the one who is crazy because you are talking about things you don't understand.
You said earlier that you pay on $35 a month for power. Was that a lie?
If you only use a tiny amount of power then you don't need a $50,000 system. You could accomplish the same thing with a much smaller system for only $5,000.
But the cost comes down even more if we pass a Green New Deal. Then the upfront cost is less for everyone because of economies of scale.

You seem to be having trouble understanding the English language. Not too surprising - it is quite complex.
Let me help you out with something here.
Definition: Free - Not costing anything.
So, you are trying to say that solar energy is free . . . except for all of the costs involved. That pretty much makes you an idiot. And I definitely do not appreciate you giving real environmentalists a bad name with your spouting of so much idiocy.
Oh yeah, here's another free pointer for you. ALL energy sources are free . . . except for all of the costs involved.
Now please shut up. It is painful to witness someone displaying how much of a moron they are.
You just don't like the way I use the word "free".
I've explained exactly what I mean by that.
So you could try making a substantive argument.
But you can't. The math works and I'm right.

That's why we need a Green New Deal.
We need to make sure that the benefits of new energy technology go to the people.
That won't happen all by itself.

I never said I paid $35 a month. Read it again. Currently I pay ~$150/month.
I think you "misunderstand" the term "free." Free does not imply a cost.

It certainly won't be the former vice president Joe Biden who apparently has sexually assaulted another lady.

Agree, sexual assault is political suicide, trump’s problems are a good example. Fortunately several candidates are in the clear. Gotta love democracy, Sally, but you’ll just have to take our word for it.
Liberals always say about trump: “Grab him by the putin!”

Your IQ45 is showing below your pink panties, dude.
You glorify Trump, who grabbed then by the puccy.
You want someone's head to roll for kissing someone on top of the head.

Maybe I got you mixed up with the other guy who said he pays $35 a month. If so, I apologize.
You can get a system of any size. In general, the price corresponds to the amount of electricity you use. Most people can't or don't want to get something that won't pay off for 15 years. But with the Green New Deal, we can all benefit from new technology to the point that we wouldn't pay for electricity.
As Alan pointed out, these things are usually set up so that the monetary benefits flow to the wealthy. Again, that's why we need a Green New Deal.
If you just want to argue about the meaning of the word "free", or if you want to make the argument that "nothing is really free" then I guess it's your right to make a boring and meaningless argument.
I say it's free to use the Interstate. It's free use the public library. And it can one day be free to use electricity.
If that day comes, it will be a huge boon to the economy and it will help save the planet.
It would literally be the deal of the century.

Biden was touching inappropriately women and young girls. Trump made some lewd comments. One (Biden) is major league felony. The other (Trump) is nothing like Biden's behavior.

Yeah....Trump has a dozen plus accusations against him. Creepy Joe I think just doesn’t know he’s being an old creepy guy. I mean this stuff isn’t new. The Creepy Joe stuff goes back decades and was even a topic in 2008 when he ran.
Really it’s a matter of what the public can forgive. The public forgave Trump and elected him even though he had a dozen or more harassment/assault acusers and even legal cases.
I don’t think Biden should enter the race. Beyond the Creepy Joe stuff he’s just too old and out of touch.
Interestingly, if he did get nominated the other side would have their hands tied over the Creepy Joe stuff because Trump has a history of being creepy himself.
I think this is going to propel Beto into first place in the polls.

That is a laugh . . . he physically grabbed in the privates, and the shoved his tongue down teenage girl's throats.
