More opinion with ZERO fact to back it. Your unfounded claims of 90% fail in 10 years is ca-ca. The fact that not everyone has a solar array is more due to resistance in our culture than practicality. Remember how Carter was castigated for putting solar panels on the White House and Reagan made a big macho deal of removing them? Arnold was driving his Hummer and smoking those tobacco penises belittling 'girlie-men'.
Advances are reducing the cost, increasing the reliability, and efficiency. some who don't sit on the sidelines making up stuff are starting to see the advantages to solar- every new invention doesn't start with instant widespread acceptance. It has taken far too long but the false bravado of burn baby burn when it comes to how we make energy is finally being rolled back.
Several unrelated to solar factors work against widespread use- not every house has either the yard or the roof orientation to use the panels, not every climate is as sun friendly as others- FYI I see more and more solar panels in Lawton OK everytime i go to town, and many are reluctant to be the first on their block.
You still sound like the old fart-
Cars are just rich man toys
Planes will never turn a profit
Wind is free why would a ship's captain pay for coal?
Americans are said to have a love affair with the automobile, yet it was not an overnite sensation. In 1920 there was one car for every 10 Americans, it took to 1975 to cut that in half, to 2000 to almost get to one per person, and there weren't a bunch of politicians pushing back on car ownership like for renewable energy. :roll:
But by all means sit there and claim solar power isn't taking off, that 90% of the panels fail in 10 years and be blinded to the fact that ALL sources of power take energy to produce- that coal don't dig itself....
