I hate stuff like this because our government supports solar roofs with an outrageous 56 Eurocent per kwh ( or roughly 20times what it costs to create a kwh from gas, coal, nuclear power and 6 times what it costs to make a kwh from wind power) So lots of people put solar cells on their roof which is economic and environmental nonsense in Germany (the cloudiest region in the world behind Oregon).
I even heard that people in developing nations with bad power-grids cannot use as much solar power as would make sense in a country where the sun always shines and not every house has always-on access to electric power. Why? Because of silicon shortages that are driven not least by strong demand from Germany for solar cells. How stupid is that?
I say introduce a carbon tax. Make it costly to use fossil fuels and let the rest be done by the markets. Only solution to help the environment and stop Governments from stupid pet projects like solar power in northern Europe and methanol from maize in the USA.
