What money? Power bills won't go down. The solar panel factories aren't in that county. The installers will be brought in from out of state contractors.

- PaulDavisThe1st 1y agoWe should be honest and admit that the maintainance jobs are very, very few.
- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoPower bills will go down. Solar electricity is by far the cheapest form.
- JuniperMesos 1y agoBut it's unreliable, and needs a lot of battery tech + overbuilding to make it reliable. Can people be confident that building the array will in and of itself make their electricity bills go down?
- PaulDavisThe1st 1y agoEven with those additional costs, it is still arguably the cheapest generation technology.
- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoif people can't be confident about this it's only because a bunch of grifters and oil company propaganda. The math here is pretty easy.
- Loughla 1y agoI guess you're assuming that power will be used locally and not sold to a different city/state? Source: the butt tons of wind farms that sell their power to the state next door and the fact that our power bill has doubled in that time frame.
