- direwolf20 8mo agoThat's fine. If we have enough X then stop paying people to build more X.
- direwolf20 8mo agoLate thought: we continue to reward those who built more X when we needed more X, and that's fine too.
- Analemma_ 8mo agoThe first round of people paid way more for their solar panels though, and those higher prices helped bootstrap the industry. Should people who paid much less for panels get the same reward? I'm having trouble getting outraged about this, it seems to be incentives working exactly as they should.
- throwworhtthrow 8mo agoI agree, and maybe my "ladder pull" comment comes off as too negative. Most early solar buyers were either in it for environmental reasons or for a modest return on investment. I don't think many were expecting a windfall.
