Highly opinionated article void of facts. Reaching the conclusion that the government should install solar, not seeing the fallacy in that argument. Governments are also optimization machines that connects the opinion of voters and interest groups, to action. What they spend on is not based on objective good, it's based on what the public opinion is that year. Most people would rather money going into low income housing and fighting homelessness. So the system will end up underfunded and that's assuming if the gov is efficient. I say that as a socialist, if the market is bad, regulate it.
