A lot more detached single family homes need to get solar panels, which will decrease demand for centrally generated power.

Instead of selling public debt to fund centralized power plants we should be making that same public investment to install solar on every detached single family home on the state.

Otherwise we are fighting against both big capital and economies of scale, while our foes leverage both. And they still can’t beat the cost per watt of solar.

If I remember correctly the Inflation Reduction Act set aside large subsidies for solar panel installation. I haven't had a chance to look into it much since it passed though.

Yep. 30% retroactive for anything installed in 2021.

Still only available to those who own a home and have capital. Not the same as what I’m talking about, but it’s a halfass start.
