I demand to know why the Obama Admin has failed these people

There are plenty of people who live off grid using solar and wind to generate power. One of the points in requiring passive solar building specs, is that you don't require NEARLY as much electricity, because the houses don't need indoor heating and cooling. The indoor temperature remains pretty much the same year round, regardless of what the weather is like outside. It only fluctates a couple of degrees.

Germany (a country not known for it's sunshine) has been subsidizing solar with very good results. I believe they are now the number one importer to the world for solar panels, and they generate a large amount of electricity for their country using solar.

Give me some time and later today I will provide some links. I only have a few minutes right now, and I was just checking in.
