1. I read somewhere that he amount of solar energy that hits the earth
in one day is more than enough to power all of mankind's needs for a year.
So I agree with you 100%.

3. Germany subsidized the installation of roof mounted solar panels...
and now generate enough electricity to replace 13 nuclear plants. Now Germany is a small, somewhat cloudy and cold country. The United States is a large land mass with billions of roofs and a lot more sun in most places than Germany. Also homeowners don't install the solar panels, companies and workers do which would supply thousands of jobs.

It's win-win.
