I'm not against solar power at all.
I have an associate degree in applied science on wind and solar power generation. I'm going to install at least 5kw of grid tied solar at my next house. I like solar power.
What I don't like is the endless tax payer handouts.
If you want solar panels, buy them your self.
If they want it that bad why not have the government pay for say half or 2/3. Make people work for it a little.

With 800,000 solar panels what's the deal, does everyone get 2 or 3 solar panels?
What about scotland and Ireland? Does the sun never shine there?

Sounds like a rotten deal to me.
