It makes sense to me because they need to recover their investment. They can't charge more for it of course without people freaking out, and maybe they aren't allow to charge less. Who knows. I'm just glad its in place for Vegas.
It used to be more expensive, but now its cheaper.

Solar in the 80's was very, very expensive, and very inefficient too. Dismissing solar today because 30 year old technology sucked isn't smart. You should at least give it another look.
To each their own of course, but I think He's added lots of value to his house. We just bought our house about 2 years ago and this year, new houses are going up with solar in place. Even some new apartment buildings are solar. If I was shopping for a new house today, I would like at houses with solar panels included already.
I second that!
Not sure you get it. Rochard was paying $400+ per month for electricity. Now he's paying $117. Not only that, but this is money he's paying into his house, and not to the electric company, and therefore value to his house. This is on top of the reduced pollution he is creating, and on top off the complete elimination of brownouts or short blackouts.
Look at it another way. Imagine you were buying a house for $500,000 and were going to mortgage it over 20 years. Your monthly payments would be around $2200 a month. If you could add $100 to your monthly payments and get "free" electricity (and be super green at the same time) for as long as you owned the house, wouldn't you take it?
Why are you posting stats that are almost 6 years out of date?
You're about as interested in that as you are of my own stats driving electric vs gasoline.
