  I dont think the comments regarding Mr. Brownings work are productive, especially since this "victory" is purely semantic. Another reason that FIT's )or more broadly Performance/Production Based Incentives) will be more difficult to implement in the US is because access to credit for these projects is more difficult. The "Bankability" for renewable energy projects is better understood in Europe, and thus consumers and project developers are able to secure the necessary upfront capital to install systems. US banks still add technology risk to assessing investment portfolios, and lending is much more difficult for these projects. An advantage of a rebate (or similar estimated performance) incentive is that the "FIT money" is essentially paid out upfront, lowering the cost to install, allowing more people to install systems. Commenting on this entire piece would be silly... "because it wasn’t theirs" = LAME "total system cost / expected kWh + 6-7 percent profit margin" = naive Keep up the good work Browning, those who know what they are talking about understand that a policy design based on an acronym is no victory at all.On Feed-in rates: a hard sell posted 2 months ago 3 Responses

  wow- i really detest personal attacks in the comment section...but JABAILO are you kidding me?

  
  it would be sad that your lack of understanding regarding the meaning of the term 'per capita' is so blatent, yet your classless political attack reminds me just how shallow, petty, and INTELLECTUALLY BANKRUPT your philosophy has become.

  
  I appreciate you reminding me why your philosophy has indeed become facile.

  the concept of per captia energy usage remaining constant in Californai refers to the idea that despite increasing growth rates of the population, the consumption curve for energy has remained flat.

  
  in JABAILO language: "Liberal California dont use much energy even dough day grownd up to be a big state, peoplewize...durr"
