  Totally Agree

  While I'm all for a nationwide net metering law, thinking it will solve our energy problems shows a tenuous grip on reality at best.  Wind power is vastly more economical at utility scales, and planting a wind turbine in a wheat field or pasture hardly qualifies as "destroying the wilderness".  Likewise, photovoltaics are not even in the same efficiency league as thermal solar, which doesn't scale down to household installations very well, at least for electricity production.  Finally, tens of millions of Americans live in urban settings.  Where is someone who lives in an apartment in Manhattan supposed to install their solar panels?

  This vitroilic rant against the best energy plan we've ever had seems both misplaced and counterproductive.
