  1. Has it occurred to anyone yet that this effectively forces those who rent or can’t afford to invest in a rooftop solar installation to subsidize the costs for the businesses and wealthy greenies who can?

    This is really just a way to enrich the crony makers of these virtue signaling setups.

    If they were economically viable, no subsidy would be needed.

      1. This was a concept Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven, my 2nd favorite Sci-fi writers were pushing 40 years ago.

        The transmission problems seem to be the main obstacle, along with the environmental impact statement.

      2. RE: “The transmission problems seem to be the main obstacle, along with the environmental impact statement.”

        Understood. The article at Infogalactic mentions two different possibilities for transmission. I have the impression that the engineering is feasible.

        China, apparently, is seriously pursuing the idea:
