to do business everything in the short term nothing in the long term. If they pay for themselves in 20 years who cares? FIXED Cost versus utility rate hikes up the wazoo?

Here in CA you see it everywhere. City Halls, Schools, Walmarts, Costco, residential, all over the place. We have a good rebate incentive program and a forward thinking legislature so solar is flourishing out here in CA>.
