Not to get political, but It seems every time something comes along, the Gov't has to intervene. My parents live in Arizona and due to the awful heat, most solar panels are only living half of their 30 year life span before kicking the bucket. I guess 117f will do that to just about anything, except scorpions,and cockroaches.
Solar tax
It's not the politicians this time, it's the utility company what a surprise. OMG I just read that horrible editorial, "50% of the power generated is from Coal" only if you live on the Indian Reservation and those are super small plants...
The majority is Natural Gas and then Hydroelectric and of course we have the largest Nuclear plant in the USA.
Where do they get the water to cool that baby? BTW, battery cars may be paying a "fuel tax" in the People's Republic soon. After all, they DO wear the roads, just like their combustion powered counterparts.
