Are solar panels actually cost effective at this point? Any legislation forcing people to do non sensible things is bound to be met with resentment/unpalatable.

The incandescent ban I just found odd personally. If you're going to legislate bulb choice then why aren't we all being forced to buy LED bulbs? Based on the manufacturer claims they're both the more energy and cost efficient choice. (however much stock you place in those claims..)
