Solar Roof
I&#x27;m super excited about all of the great stuff happening in solar recently, but whenever I read about the economics of home solar, I&#x27;m also always reminded of how stacked the deck is for wealthy people vs. poor folks. There&#x27;s a very large federal tax credit for solar investment. That&#x27;s great...but, people who can&#x27;t afford their own home get no such credit, and there&#x27;s no way for them to get such a credit. That&#x27;s a super common trait for lot of incentives; they go to people who need them least. And, the people who are getting these incentives, are also using a lot more power (bigger houses, more power), and so even with solar, their huge houses may <i>still</i> be contributing more to emissions than the poor folks who aren&#x27;t getting any tax breaks living in apartments or rental properties.<p>I don&#x27;t really have any answers on this, I just think it doesn&#x27;t get talked about enough.
