I won’t bash Apple for something I pined for 20 years ago. Solar is awesome.

BS Solar is useful in very limited applications where conventional power is not an option. Where conventional power is available, the payback time exceeds the life cycle of the equipment so all you get is very expensive power.

Why would anyone be concerned about a private company spending money on solar power?

It is their money and they have lots of cash to burn.

Bought my son a solar charger for his cell phone because they camp a lot where there is no electricity so it seemed like a good thing to have. Everytime he had a need to use it, it was either raining, snowing or very cloudy so put it in the garage sale and finally one guy offered me $.50 for it. Glad to see it gone.

Covering 5% of Arizona would supply enough power for the U.S.
