I agree but it's probably a step in the right direction. If nothing
else, it helps change our mindset and nudges technology along in the
right direction. Look at what's happening with electric cars. In
less than 10 years they have advanced from geek toys to very
respectable vehicles that will blow the doors off a 'vette at the drag
strip.


If you are getting the electricity from a coal fired plant, you
haven't gained anything. The gain is even questionable with gas fired
plants. For the most part, the economic viability is back loaded on
the tax payer in a fairly regressive manner. They have moved from
being souped up golf carts for geeks to rich people's toys with the
subsidies being paid by people who can't afford one. Solar power is
much the same.
People rich enough to put $40,000-50,000 on their roof get subsidized
by those who aren't.


So, let's not do anything. Got it.


Do you have solar on your roof or drive an electric car? What exactly
are you "doing" except trolling on the internet?
Bill is doing far more than you and you only give him ridicule.
(I also have collectors on my roof)
