I agree with pretty much everything you're saying, except your conclusion. I definitely see the value as a way to sell solar. And I agree with it. I think many people will only do it if it makes financial sense. But I don't think that means it needs to be the only carrot or stick. I don't think we really have time to pretend that only One Simple Pitch will get us there. Nor do I think it means that the conversations about it need to be so thoroughly dominated by it. I'm not talking about the OP here, I'm talking about this thread, on which nearly every top level post is just someone declaring whether solar breaks even for them or not. I don't think this is terribly useful dialog, and it makes it very hard to talk about anything else.
