This might seem impressive, but it's not. It's fucking Californians.
In the 1990's we had a problem where we couldn't generate enough power. So the power companies went all out building energy plants. This went on for the past twenty years. Now we are paying for power plants that we will most likely not use.
Not a problem you say because everyone is on solar? Not so. I would love to get solar power, and looked into a number of times - meaning salesmen have come to my house to explain to me what I need. In order for me to get solar panels on my hosue it will cost me $350 a month... Which is more than twice my average power bill.
I am a "green" person, I recycle, and we've gone so far as to change out ALL of our lighbulbs with energy saving lightbulbs (at $30 a pop and six bulbs in each room, that cost a lot). But I am not about to pay twice as much for solar energy.
