Energy Independence

Who would have thought every American could be a brilliant genius.

I have noticed Amazon selling solar powered light bulbs with a small solar panel designed to recharge the light.

If thr same light had a longer power cord, the solar panel could be built into the outside wall with a weather proof, clear cover placed over it.

The light would function as a normal light, could be changed out if the light goes bad and create a house that is less dependent on electricity transmitted over power lines.

Independence for the system is what America is progressing towards.


President Biden's rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation. Any hybrids?
Biden spent Thanksgiving on the ritzy Massachusetts island with his family last week. The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.
Footage shows firefighters spraying down the smoldering remains of one vehicle's engine block. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.
The vehicles were parked at the Nantucket airport and the blaze reportedly spread to just 40 feet away from the facility's jet fuel tanks. It is currently unknown what caused the fire. Fox News reached out to the White House for information, but they did not immediately respond.
