re: Does the left really believe we can power the entire country on solar and wind?

Well, if I sell electricity back at $0.0002 kW I’ve “saved” money. I’m a far cry from making my home system economically viable. We’ve done the math 8-ways from Sunday. In a deregulated state like TX, residential solar is a tough sell. You should also be asking why it utility scale solar is so dead. And has been for the last few years. Most of the domestic solar companies have raced to exit market. Not enter it. Go have a look at PPA rates.
Your taking 1 market and applying generalized logic to it. While it’s harder to realize savings in Tx, it’s still doable depending on the location. And when I say saving, I’m talking about real year 1 savings over not having PV. We use CPR data linked to genabilities savings engine to de-risk these and sell to the market. Considering I’ve sold 100k+ systems to the market with A+ rated bonds, think it’s safe to say it’s not a fluke and these aren’t people who are just looking to go green and feel good about themselves. In monopolistic markets it’s ridiculously easy to provide savings.
