The only other solution to US pollution is to MANDATE each married couple to have a maximum of 2 children. And, I know how much you-all LOVE MANDATES.
.......And, of course, those grandchildren WILL fall prey to a famous old philosopher that said, " wars and petulance" will control the levels of population". So, teach those grandchildren to shoot - they will have the unwashed hordes coming for their fat-city wealth and take it away (AND their lives). So, don't buy a Prius or a Tesla - and from heaven or wherever, you can watch them perish!

I didn't say that solar panels are not sensible. I said that solar panels attached to an asphalt shingle roof in The Villages to provide an inadequate amount of electricity for an individual house is not sensible or cost effective.
