I agree wholeheartedly with the premise of this article and that solar can't be the see-all-do-all that the Dims make it out to be. I'm just saying solar has helped me avoid the sky-high inflation the Dims keep putting on electricity and natural gas rates (I converted my house to all-electric right after I put solar onto the house).
If I could drill my own oil or natural gas I'd do it because those are much more efficient and dependable than solar. But I can't do those. So I went with solar to pull most of my energy budget back out of the Dims' grubby hands and into my hands where my money belongs (except what I give to God and real charity). I no longer worry about natural gas prices at all and I worry about half as much about power prices as I used to.
IMHO that's the only good thing about solar, at least decentralized solar. It's one less thing in my life the Dims can have control over.
How do you know that? Can you verify it? Or did somebody sell you that that "factoid"?
Methinks the Right is missing a big opportunity here: flummox the Left by embracing solar power, and advocate for (but not _require_) every new home be built with full-blown off-grid power generation, EV included, to severely reduce reliance on “the grid” for purposes of individual power independence. Progressives would freak.
