As I read those small stats I am reminded of how many people a century ago drove cars.
A friend of mine here in KY specializes in solar installations. Actually, he’s my guitar player in my band. His family lived off their own garden and livestock, even butchering their own pigs, selling their raw milk (the only way it’s technically legal) and making their own Sourgum.
They’ve eaten all the livestock and even the chickens are gone. He went from doing the odd solar job every six months to a year to being so swamped he’s turning down work and raising his rates.
There is a tide finally turning. I think Solar has hit its “Model T” moment.
I’ve been considering adding some panels here to help at least a bit with energy costs, but the zoning codes are confusing and the prices even for the very limited space available here are making that look like a losing proposition at the moment.
