There is also dumb zoning. A fellow in our town was told he had to take
down his wind turbine because it was too high.

Dumb zoning, I like that. That could describe so much more than
this thread.

As for being surprised that more hasn't been done with solar over the
past 20 years, I'm new to the solar scene but I'm amazed at what has
been accomplished in just the past 10. And I'm thinking that the next
10 years are going to be amazing.
