    I had Jimmy Carter’s whitehouse rooftop solar in mind when I said 50 years. Maybe not ready for full deployment at that time, but the lost opportunity for investment and early deployment is tragic in my opinion.

    I had a wrong opinion.

      Those were solar hot water heating panels, not photovoltaics. Quite effective for what they did, but not something that could be used as a source of electricity.

      Those weren’t even PV panels it was just a solar water heater. *woops, had this comment open long enough while I double checked that that somebody beat me to it
