Rick-Check my bio.I live in the Sunshine capitol of the US.360 days of sun per year-no joking.Solar came & went.Right now i can not name any place that has panels on the roof.And trust me-i get around.All the plastic pieces fell apart in the sun long before any benefit was realized.There is no plastic that can stand up to the desert sun.We won't get into the years-to-pay-off time like Ron mentioned.

Also,in order for solar to be the future,it has to work the same in every corner of the country.Solar in the NW?That's a joke.They get as many cloudy days as we get sun.Solar in New England?That's funny.But not as funny as in the NW.Upper mid-west..chuckle.

There is no such thing as regional alternatives-it HAS to work across the board.And solar doesn't.

I'm not doubting your 20 billion figure,however it will be a 20 billion dollar scam.

The only solar i would consider is "solar assist" on the water heater.Solar won't even work on my pool as i have re-plumbed the pool so that it only has to run 4 hours per day to turn it over.
