Last I checked the cost for solar is like a penny higher than natural gas.

If you had the biggest homelessness problem in the country would you make building homes cheaper or more expensive?

In Cal they are choosing to make home more expensive by requiring solar panels on all new homes. Using the govt to force people to buy things is great for the rich who buy such laws. But no so much for the average person buying a house. Next they will require solar panels be installed any time the home changes hands. I fail to see how adding 10K to the cost of building homes helps the homeless problem or anything by that matter.

Solar panels are not even that green when you take into account the energy needed to make them and the toxic wastes it produces,

"several incidents have linked the manufacture of these shining symbols of environmental virtue to a trail of chemical pollution. And it turns out that the time it takes to compensate for the energy used and the greenhouse gases emitted in photovoltaic panel production "

Your “logic” is wrong on several accounts.

1. As has been pointed out, few of the homeless will be buying new homes.
2. But also, putting in solar will ultimately reduce the homeowner’s electricity costs
3. It will also save gas, coal or whatever is used as heating.
4. It will lessen pollution if solar energy replaces wood burning for heat.

So ultimately, homeowners would save money. Big big failed thread just to make a dumb point.
