The results of a probably somewhat biased poll given to 1,004 Americans by the world's largest solar-cell producer, Japan's Sharp Electronics Corp show that 80% of Americans want to have solar power as a part of their houses. Two thirds of Americans are willing to pay a premium for solar panels and half said they'd pay 10% more for a house with solar panels. Ron Kenedi, VP of solar stuff at Sharp said, "Solar has been popular for a long time in areas like California and Arizona. Now we're seeing that the rest of the country is ready to embrace solar energy, and consumers want the option of having solar power their new home." So, what you're saying is, when it was economically viable to have solar power in places with lots of sunshine, people had solar panels? And now that it's economically viable in other areas, those people want solar as well. Crazy...
