“The costs of solar energy are plummeting, and now are about on par with the electricity generated at big power plants.”

Costs to the end user, maybe. But they are laden with government subsidies. We are paying more for those solar panels on their roofs than they are. We deserve to get some of our money back. Take away the subsidies and solar panels are an expensive and dangerous eye-soar.

"We deserve to get some of our money back."

Forcing everyone with solar electric systems to pay socialist investors and a government-linked business is not the way to do it.

"Take away the subsidies and solar panels are an expensive and dangerous eye-soar."

I did not get rebates or tax credits. The PV modules that I bought were not subsidized. They were not expensive or dangerous. And as for "eye-soar," you do not own my land, NIMBY.
