>I really agree with John B. on this issue.  Unsubsidized .25/KWH is a lot
closer to the actual costs associated with fossil fuel and nukes (if some of
global climate change comes about, could be real low).  I also agree from
the aspect that what we don't need is subsidized solar.  When the last big
Fed. tax credit program was initiated, suddenly every used car salesman was
in the renewable energy business and a lot of systems were installed that
did not work.  Selling green clean power is doable, but the battery
component is usually  necessary to chinch the deal.  You know those little
"bumper-stickers" Trace includes with every inverter?  Maybe they should
just change it to, "I baby-sit my batteries with Trace Power inverters" --
