How many solar panels could be purchased for the cost of the iraq war?

Answer 1

Solar panels are great things, but they have their limitations.

I have yet to hear about how solar panels have ever toppled a dictator, killed terrorists trying to attack your country, or prevented WMDs from being made or sold to terrorists.

Yes, I know there were no WMDs, but that's why we went there.

Answer 2

I added that up about a year ago which would be even more now. At the minute we could put about a one half kill-a-watt solar electric system on on every home in the whole usa. With 300,000,000 people in the USA and 3 per household. You tak the money we spent on the war (400,000,000,000) divided by 100,000,000 homes you get about $4,000 per home and at a cost $8.50 per watt installed cost of the solar electric system you would end up with 450 watts per home.

If we had not spent the money fighting a war that we never should have started. Bush and his gang of thugs would have just pocketed the money or given it to their OIL buddies.. Oh that is right they did that anyway..

It is the same as with the money for storm damage. It all goes to the rich guy and very few of the people who really need it gets it.

Money don't go very far when it pays for high dollar food, first class seats on flights and $500 hammers.

Are you people not ashamed of yourselfs? These people we have in office are having a very hard time trying to live the good life, while not spending their own money. Plus they have to think ahead and make sure they have their bank accounts padded incase they are caught skimming and are kicked out of office. Really, how can they afford call girls on such a low wage. It is only right they take the American public for a free ride.

Remember a war is the best way for them to skim money from the public and not get caught.

Sad but all true.

Answer 3

Yeah okay, it would suck if the terrorists came and blew them up. The only problem with that is Iraq didnt have a thing to do with terrorists before we attacked them and took saddam out of power. Saddam was an evil dictator, but he hated terrorists and he happened to be the only thing keeping Iraq from a civil war, which we are now seeing. The terrorists didnt enter Iraq until saddam was taken out of power. We are more at risk of being attacked by terrorists than we were 6 years ago(because of the iraq war), only now we are less likely to get help after we are attacked again, since everyone hates us. So not only did we go into a war with iraq costing over 350 trillion dollars with a result of a civil war, but you kind of can consider our 350 trillion dollars gone to make a terrorist bootcamp that is iraq. I'd prefer the extra energy that the solar panels would give us, at least that would bring our energy costs down, as well as help the environment and our lungs?

Answer 4

Well, so far the war has cost about $400,000,000,000. Solar panels cost about $55 per square foot. So that's about 7,270,000,000 square feet.

Answer 5

Only purchase the latest version which are both photovoltaic and thermal responsive meaning they will convert infra-red heat energy into electricity. This makes them versatile and usable even when there is no sunlight.

Answer 7

Alot.

Aprox. 438 billion...
divided by $861 for a 175 watt solar pannel =
508,710,801 solar pannels. At a net power output of
89,024,390,243 watts of power.

Answer 8

I don't know and I don't care . Your solar panels won't do much good if the terrorists come and blow up your house.

Answer 9

who cares.....i'd rather have the money spent killing Saddam than on solar panels.

Answer 10

A bunch, but the terrorists would still want to kill you.

On the other hand, we have placed energy production in the hands of private industry.
