It's a shame that public policy is pulling back on these incentives...I think it's still a bit early to do so. Here in Mass the incentives have been decreased a lot more gradually...the earliest adopters got the most generous reimbursements..but current adopters still get a boost.

Here's the alternative to incenting more production at consumption point -- continue to build central power plants and harden transmission lines for increasingly harsh weather. Either the tax payer pays or the consumer pays....but either way, we are paying for our power...the question is which option do we prefer. Me, I voted with my checkbook and covered my roof. I was in a position to do so and will benefit as long as we're in the house.
