    I'd love to put solar on every residential rooftop that faces south.

Two points on this: First, in some cases it may be better to have them face west rather than south. Second, economies of scale make utility scale solar more cost effective than residential solar. While the wholesale panel costs may be similar, the simplified, standardized construction on a utility site pushes the costs down compared to houses with different construction, shape and sun exposure.

I had no idea there was a coal license plate. That's amazing(ly sad).

I like trees and should do more to plant more.
