It has been my perception that solar never panned out to be
the great thing they were thought to be before hand.

That may not be true, but I have read things over the years
that brought me to that conclusion.

As the Left tries to state that solar and wind are going to
replace oil and coal, I don’t think that is as sound an
idea as they do.

I agree that solar does provide a fall back position for
individual residences. Individual residence installation
as a rule creates a protection against total grid outages
also.

If we relied more on individual homes to provide their
own energy, we wouldn’t have to build new plants, and it
could be possible for us to par back that concept.

Individual homes with enough energy to pump power back
into the grid at a profit to the homeowner could also be
a way to take a large load off of the conventional power
stations. IMO > that would come the closest to replacing
oil and coal energy.

It’s analogous to family farms.

Raise enough for your family and sell some.

You’re not getting rich, but you are independent.
