The utility companies pay and lobby Ohio govt. to make sure they don't sprout. Ohio's new energy bill could change that some, but don't hold your breath. No alternative solution under the new bill can raise your electric bill except by a tiny tiny bit, on the other hand, PUCO constantly gives the utilities rate increases for the states failed nuclear reactor at Davis Besse, and seemingly unlimited raises to make more dirty coal power. What the hell is wrong with Ohio? King Coal and First Energy own Ohio legislators. Bought and paid for on the cheap.

(based on www.bestplaces.net) The air quality of the city I live is 13 out of 100! This is the reason I am looking to move. But most of the country is suffering! Enough!!!

But to get to that level we need a base of consumers that are willing to invest in the technology for environmental/economic reasons. In terms of labour costs for manufacture, if you factor in cheap labour from China, then it becames even more affordable still, however it cost us local jobs. Even without the cheap labour options that China has, there are domestic incentives. If instead, we choose to have the solar made in the respective country where it is consumed, then, of course, its less affordable, but now it is a job creator! How much money is having a green-job going to save a disgruntled jobless population! Would they rather be unemployed? Think like Thomas Edison or Henry Ford and we can create an entire industry from this.
