I'm an OldishHippie in Southern California. I guess the rebates here probably help PV make more economic sense. Most of the neighbors I see getting them lately haven't spent a dime to upgrade their homes in years, and couldn't care less about global warming, so that tells me they're only putting them up for the electric bill savings.

Sorry to hear about all the objections you're hearing in Texas. Maybe there's an unspoken fear of being thought of as a tree-hugger that's making them cut off their nose to spite their face.
