[ausev] Residental Solar Power

[John Penry at TransTexasTrucks]

I object to the "green tax" that companies charge.
I buy Folgers by the pound, not Starbucks by the cup.  I look for value.
I object to calling it "Windtricity" when it is the same electricity my 
neighbor gets, but I have to pay more.
Now if they called it a "rate lock", I would buy it.
So why should I buy it if it costs more?
Is it up to me as a consumer, or is it up to our elected officials?
These types of questions could go on forever, but the fact is, I DO look at 
ROI in everything I buy.
