This reminds me of the Palo Alto, CA subsidy for solar panels.  The
city, county, state subsidies were impressive enough that most folks
working on their houses took seriously converting to solar.

Are there subsidies like that here?

Sorta like shared WiFi, it might be nifty for some of us to have
interesting new power supplements .. probably solar.  Is anyone looking
into alternatives for their home?
