I feel society’s goal should be generating the maximum number of kWh using solar.

Utilities are a good way to do this. I think that community-owned utilities and “cooperatives” are fine things. A neighborhood solar park? Yay! I like municipally owned utilities. If privately owned utilities will decrease our carbon emissions faster, more power to (er… from) them…

If you want to put solar on your roof, and can, go for it! If you want me to subsidize it with my taxes and electric bills, yeah… OK… But if there’s a way I can get “more bang for the buck”…
