On Mardi gras day or any day if you are riding on a float, you always pick up Popeyes chicken to have on the float with you and someone always cooks a huge vat of jambalaya and/or gumbo and king cake. Those are food staples for Mardi gras. Also every Krewe has a King and Queen. Maybe you can sell raffle tickets for a weekend in New Orleans and the people that sell the most tickets are crown King and Queen the night of the event. Also we throw doubloons by the hand full.
Depends where you live. by Jose Pagliery @Jose_Pagliery May 1, 2015: 7:12 PM ET. The answer depends on where you live -- and how you use it. If you live in the South and already own solar panels, it could take you just under three years to make up the cost of the $3,000 Tesla Powerwall battery. But if you live in the Pacific Northwest and don't have solar panels, it could take you at least 16 years to make up the cost of buying Tesla's new home battery.
Pike Researchâs estimate from late 2011 for a finished and installed EV battery pack placed the cost at $752 per kilowatt-hourâbut by this year it would fall by 5 percent, and drop 10 percent more by 2013. Bloomberg New Energy Finance indicated that the current price is $689 per kWh. So, the McKinsey number for today's pack is another indication that $600 is in the right range. Using $600 per kWh, the LEAF's 24-kWh battery pack would cost Nissan $14,400.
