.... looking at renewable energy with other than religious fervor. The Church of the Renewables.

I had nothing against the technological research. It's not a technical problem. The problem I see is regulatory. And saying the goal is a system design that can form a national template is just that, a goal. I can have a goal of a national election system that is designed to only elect Democrats. Nice goal, but ain't gonna happen.

The goal here may be doable, but it isn't going to be any easier than trying to get any other building or construction code consistent across 50 states and even more jurisdictions. It's a good goal, and I hope they can do it, but 50 years of observation and experience tells me it's gonna be worth watching.

And does anyone else here think I am only on this forum to dis anything solar?
