[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 1567769, member: 16646"] Solar here in Alberta is not so easy to pay for if you are grid-tied, not on the grid by not far and it makes total sense. The subsidy makes it pay off pretty quick here too. For Pumps etc it is way cheaper to run solar than a gas pump. That is with panels here being way more expensive than they need to be. My parents live where there is not a whole lot of sun, but panels are more realistic in price will pay for them in 7 years. They are no their roof, and they are grid tied. They are happy with them. You seem to think that coal is so great, yet coal is so non-reactive to demand. A turbine loves to run at a set power and will do very well, but the grid is not like that. Natural gas is the easiest way to power the grid, but smart meters and storage will make the alternative sources work. The best bit about solar, or wind is you can stop paying a big company for your power. I would have thought that most free market people would see this. [/QUOTE]
