>The problem with solar is the sun refuses to shine at night or brightly when you need it such as in winter.
Here solar is an economical, efficient supplement. If it conserves some natural gas, it did its job.
Most electric poles and many rooftops here in NJ have solar panels on them.
Big solar farms don't make sense here when housing is so expensive.

> I was at JFK airport by mistake during a state power cut you no doubt recall. Total disaster. Missed a daughter's birthday and broke a valuable antique enjoying the charms of JFK without power, especially the darkened restrooms that were as bad as you might imagine...

Yep. I recall it.
