You just are not listening.
You are trying to build a house with the materials contained in a box of matches. On a two dollar budget.
The politicians selling you these plans are counting on two things - you won't do the math - and like every religious story ever told - you WANT to believe.
Edit to add
Look at the cost of solar - and remember - it only works HALF OF THE TIME.
Consider there is 140 million taxpaying people in the US. - a nice convenient number - as it takes 150 million for every square mile of solar panels.
So we round it - and say every taxpayer pays 1 dollar per square mile. It is going to take $17,500 per taxpayer.
For a system that works half the time.
Ok... We will double it - and pretend that the sun shines 24 hours a day - and the power grid comes for free. So you're looking at $35,000 per taxpayer- for a system that MIGHT last 10 years.
2017 median US income was $35,000 a year.
...
And we're going yo get Medicare for everybody - right?
