The electrical power grid is becoming more and more strained as more and more coal fired power plants are decommissioned thanks to Obamas War on Coal.
Solar is slowly taking up the slack. A friend of mine is an electrician. He has been taking jobs installing solar in homes and late last year it took over. It’s all he does. Sure, solar may not be cost effective, but as more and more people are worried about the grid, it’s becoming more and more about dependable power and less about saving money.
