Why, that's all just wild-eyed hippie talk! What are you, some kind of pinko commie?
In all seriousness, I'd like to see more investment in solar power here. I've thought about installing some panels on my house, however, I'm not sure it's cost-effective as I live in one of the least-sunny areas of the U.S. I will admit that I haven't researched the issue thoroughly. Were I in a position to design/build a new home in a sunny area, I'd be seriously looking at energy independence via solar.
A few years ago, they replaced all of the downtown Portland, Oregon parking meters with solar-powered ticket dispensers.
