If solar power made any economic sense, governments would not have to mandate or heavily subsidize its use.

apparently one plant in the Mojave produces 90% of the world's commercial energy.

Ok, so here is the moral dilemma. I live in Marin county. A solar system for my house would probably cost about $35-40K. It would never, ever pay for itself in reduced energy costs. But... if I get a huge tax break that cuts thousands off the real cost, and probably a significant property value increase well beyond the economic benefit (much like how liberals overprice hybrid cars) both because of the perceived eco-status and because Marin county liberals can't do math, do I go ahead and do it? I get back a small fraction of what I pay in state taxes, mostly at the expense of Marin liberals. I'm seriously wondering.
