You phony self righteous libs are everything wrong about this country.

Do you even know the cost of an average solar setup that won't necessarily power an entire house? It is not cost effective for the average person. I would love nothing more than to have solar and go off-grid but it's simply not an option for us. Also, many municipalities do not allow for homes to be completely off-grid. They allow you to use solar but you must still be tied into the grid. That makes no sense to me. If I was able to invest in solar it would to be off-grid, otherwise I'm still part of the problem being in the system.

I don't see the attraction in going off grid.
When my home produces excess solar power, it goes to the grid, and the power company burns less fossil fuel in response. I'm still "part of the problem" I guess but a smaller part than I was before.
The ones who really need to change their behavior are not people like you and me, but the power companies.

FTFY.

By the way, I worked as an engineer for a solar company for a while.  While solar could work in certain applications, it is not exactly a "climate change" answer.  Ask yourself how the energy is stored and how it's made.  Electricity doesn't just come off of solar panels (or wind turbines or hydro power) and immediately power your home.  Then ask yourself what is done with the byproduct once it's reached it's service life.  Tell me exactly how that is all good for "climate change" global warming.

A used up solar panel in the landfill has absolutely no impact on climate change.  Neither good nor bad.
