Well, a lot of what people do not realize with solar and alternative power solutions is that they cost more than fossil fuel produced electricity. Mostly to pay for the construction and maintenance of the power production sites.
If America really got serious about clean, cheap energy they would opt for nuclear. Obama made the regulations so restrictive on power plant production so fierce that new plants are not being considered, much less built. Same thing for newer fossil fuel plants. There was a reason for this when he did it, and I am sure we all know what that was. Actually, getting more regulations and money were in there as well as a green agenda.
