    Wow…I just got solar installed in Arizona because of a subsidy. My monthly bill is now less than average and will never go up.

      Your lower energy bill is just one side of it. The true win is for our planet.

        We’re not going to win hearts and minds unless we can show personally impactful results. Solar is an excellent way to do that.

        Me for example; At this point I’d have to pay more for solar on my home. That’s kinda hard to swallow unless you’re well off.

        I should note; Got a tiny house and it’s very efficient. I suspect most homeowners would be better off on solar.

          So, what you’re saying is that people are selfish douchebags who care only about their own pocketbook? Sounds about right.

          Even if thousands of us get together and get solar, it will be offset because Bezos bought another mega yacht. They need to be regulated out of existence.
