Fallingwater recently announced to great huzzahs (love the word “huzzah”) that it has installed 540 solar panels to power the site. 540 solar panels for one house. Free electricity!! “Uh, guys, did you pay for the solar panels?” “Yeah, what do you think this is … screwing lenders out of college loans??! Besides, China don’t play that. But other than that, free electricity!”

“Uh, do you have a crew to clean and repair those 540 solar panels?” “Of course, duh.” “Do they work for free?” “No, they don’t. Heyyyy, what’s going on here?” “And the cleaning products they use, how many of them were produced using fossil fuels?” “M-o-o-o-o-m-mm-mmm, he’s being mean to me. He’s using facts. I’m a Democrat, and we hate facts!”
