There are places where solar energy is very practical, for instance, heating a house or powering something in a remote location as you point out.

I see the massive solar project as the wrong approach. Many small and unique solutions seems more the right tactic to use solar energy.

You can’t steal $525 million if you’re not thinking big....

We weren’t making an arguement for subsides and the stealing of our resources, but instead giving solar power its due where it has a place and it does not have a place in the likes of Solyndra.

I do see small steps when I tend to recall the Wrigleys selling nickel a pack chewing gum and getting rich. Of course their fortune didn't come overnight in a gov. grant or loan. They made something people actually wanted.
