They are in a tizzy in Hawaii now. Hawaii has the most expensive electricity. 12% of the houses have solar power. The power company will go bankrupt if this keeps up. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/business/energy-environment/solar-power-battle-puts-hawaii-at-forefront-of-worldwide-changes.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/16/hawaii-solar-industry_n_4452177.html Along the same lines, the coal companies have been trying to strangle wind energy. Years ago, their bought-and-paid-for congressman from West Virginia introduced a bill to outlaw the use of wind power in the United States, ostensibly because it kills birds. There was no chance that would pass but it was his way of saying he'll do anything his paymasters ask, no matter how absurd. The smoke and steam from coal-fired plants kills many orders of magnitude more birds than wind turbines do. The coal industry also runs various front organizations such as the Greening Earth Society which lobby in favor of global warming. I kid you not. I think the Greening Earth Society is defunct but it has been replaced with something else. - Jed
