ZERO KOOL AID here. If you have the available space and means to power your home with a solar array, more power to you. So to speak. I have a YUGE open chunk on the south side of the house but the cost of installing and converting would no doubt exceed my remaining years to recover the investment. National dependence on “natural means” is, to me, not doable ‘currently’. So to speak.

I have ZERO problems with individuals & companies doing solar/wind power if they do it on their OWN dime. The problem arises when governments subsidize and/or require such investments. That causes a massive malallocation of resources, hugely increased costs and lower standards of living.
