Lots of articles about how solar panels are even less expensive than traditional fence panels; it's incredible. If I had a suitable property I would be installing them even in Seattle area where it's cloudy and dark for a significant part of the year (summers are pure sun though!).


Slight aside, but fence panels in the US have a monopoly problem: Most of the manufacturers got taken over, consolidated, and owned by private equity. That's why they're so expensive.

Animal vets, plumbers, HVAC, and other industries too.

How much it costs to sell a house. Then tell him in that in the US it's 6% of the sales price.

How much it costs to install solar and heat pumps.


Funeral homes preserve their original names, but are mostly owned by private equity now.


Costing less per square meter than plywood was the most recent comparison that stopped me in my tracks.
