And who pays for it
It sounds nice to hear all this, but who exactly will be paying for these million plus power plants and billions of home units? Oh right, me again.
The study says the barriers are primarily social and political, not technological or even economic. I'm calling shenanigans. I get my power from the grid because I can't get it any cheaper elsewhere (I've researched other sources too). The grid is running primarily off of fossil fuels. That's cheapest, and I can't afford more.
The barrier is cost, plain and simple. And if you political types run up the cost of gas and electric by taxing it I swear to God I'll start voting for republicans.
And I'm not cutting back on usage, you go be Amish if you want but leave me alone.
