That “..all homes sold..” has an interesting implication:

Is there enough roof space to hold enough panels to power the house, regardless of house size?

What do you want to bet that this will turn out to be yet another scam along the lines of carbon credits? If your property is unsuited for solar or wind, you’ll be required to buy “credits” from a solar farm or wind farm, and guess who’s already lined up to line their pockets from this.

I was just thinking -

Can you imagine the collateral damage if an earthquake hits a whole subdivision or city? The grid goes down immediately, with no way of restoring it for months or even years, as one by one, the panel arrays are repaired and reconnected.

Solar power and wind power, except for some very small niche applications, are technological dead ends. To assure reliable power generation, all these systems have to be backed up, with with an unimaginable array of supercapacitors and/or battery storage systems, or with more direct substitution of natural-gas or other fossil fuel powered generation stations, plus as much development of hydroelectric generation as is both practical and possible.

Or they could come to depend on nuclear power generation, with its attendant storage and containment problems. THAT sends the greenie-weenies out into the street in screaming fits.

There isn’t in Mississippi not sure about Ca. Maybe in an area with minimum AC requirements.
