(28,697 posts)You keep acting as if they server their purpose and are no longer needed.
Have you told the Germans? They not only still have the FIT, but it has been increasing rapidly and will stick for two decades?
You have a very Bush-like notion of "mission accomplished".
Solar modules are now below $1 a watt wholesale
And yet the manufacturers can't break even at the current prices but they're still too high to sell their glut in supply?
But this is interesting spin on your part. It isn't fair to count the FIT in the price the German's are paying for solar electricity because of this nobler purpose (as if the Euros don't need to be paid when there's a noble purpose)? If the government built 20 nuclear plants and just paid for them out of tax revenue while giving the power away to consumers... would you score the price of that power as "zero"?
