Criminals being criminals
SolarCity appears to be a scam through and through:

No wonder the state of New York is shoveling tens of million of taxpayer dollars to this boondoogle: it’s what Democrats do!
Your screen name is “fhayek” and you are commenting on articles on Buffalo. Its a lonely existence to be a free-market conservative in Upstate NY, which reminds me of my visits to East Germany and Czechoslavakia before the Iron Curtain fell.
Seriously - nothing in either place gets done without the dead hand of government. All decisions are made elsewhere, everything is political and every power group needs to get their say and cut first. The population is fleeing and it snows a lot. Seriously - upstate New York IS the former East Germany.
The problem with that statement is that that California did the same thing and began when there was a republican guv. The republican state of Texas has done the same thing.
NY heavily advertises their solar capacity as a means of attracting business investment just as CA and TX advertise their renewables capacity as a means of attracting business investment.
On the other hand, GOP states such as OK, AZ, and FL have implemented policy that is very unfriendly towards solar.
You may not be aware of it but the GOP controlled US Congress extended the renewable energy tax credits for 5 years in the budget legislation last Dec.
