I know that renewable energy is getting cheaper, as a matter of fact it is free, the Sun provides enough energy in one day to power the planet for a whole year, but that does not answer my question, instead you are going on your on tangent. "So, put all those subsidies and tax breaks toward clean, renewable energy" who is gonna do that? and that brings back to my original question which you are trying to dodge, here we go again, let me make it more clear, do you and the people in your neighborhood have electric power cars BY solar panels (not batteries because that also has a huge environmental cost, just do a google search for images of lithium-ion and lithium polymer mines)? Hop on in to what? to a post not answering my question?
