62 years.

Me too!   

Hmmm, my 50 year class reunion will be in September, I guess this time I'll not go...just like my 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th. My high school experience was pretty boring and my opinion of my classmates hasn't changed with age.

I know your thinking that it's because I was an A-hole...no argument but so were they

I went to my 20th, and discovered there  was no change from High School.   If you didn't belong to a clique then, the reunions suck now.

I'm not against solar. I am a fan. Distributed solar makes sense to me, with buy-back deals with electric companies, the consumer level cost would be paid for in 10 years or so, and your average suburban or rural home could be nearly self-contained.

That's a big, robust, distributed system, with the lion's share of the energy already at the end-point... so less transmission and transmission loss. Hard to knock down. That's worth looking at.

But I am dead against big solar.

Agreed.  The future of solar rests with the homeowner who puts panels on his roof and sells back to the grid.  Fifty million homeowners doing that will generate far more electricity than some large government-subsidized business with the right connections inside Washington.
