Are you sure you are on the right thread? This is sarcasm right? Your post has nothing to do with, the irresponsible waste of taxpayer dollars in the name of the environment. poor woman India...............??????? Please start a thread about that poor woman in India........I would love to educate you on that.
Wow...is it any wonder that this planet is suffering the consequences of human lack of stewardship when people such as yourself post crap like this. My gripe is that the ecologically aware and responsible are stuck on planet Earth with people with this mentality. It's like bring stuck with a roommate that's a slobbish, dirty pig when you are clean and neat.
You think that is practical? It's a PR stunt, not a wise financial investment.
You think? PR stunt for what, BTW? Is Honda not one of those private corporations?
Of course it is practical. Honda has been increasing its reliance on solar energy even for its manufacturing facilities and the promises in the future made it invest into research and development of solar cells. Like any progressive business that can anticipate business prospects, it is doing it... not just talking but walking it.
While you would rather be for sucking in the last drop of oil, promote and support wars for oil interests... but then, lives are insignificant resources compared to the almighty oil, right?
You know, when cars first came out, they got horrible gas mileage, ran poorly, and not many people owned them.
Guess what happened after the Model T made it affordable for every person?
How long did that take before buying a car was a smart financial decision the average person? did the federal government take US tax dollars and buy people and corporations cars, as a way of promoting them? How long have we had solar energy cell technology? Solar energy is still a niche source of energy.

Yes, a PR stunt, for the simple reason that huge solar arrays are expensive. They are not a wise financial decision if you are expecting to save money on electricity, because they already have access to cheaper forms of electricity.

No, but they have done that in the past. Namely with the aerospace and air freight systems.
Without government tax dollars flowing into development of radar, jet engines, and pressurized aircraft, we wouldn't be flying at the rate we are today.
The automobile took forever, in part because of the mechanics of building the car, but also because it was all free market based. Sometimes when the government steps in to encourage a product, it pays great dividends in the private sector later.
Another example of this is the internet. All government funded, but look at it now.
Green energy is no different. We send 700 billion dollars a year to other countries for foreign oil. Imagine what we could do at home with half of that, not to mention that we could start selling the increased efficiency green energy products to other countries, bringing life back to our manufacturing sector.
Look, I'm not saying that solar is everything, we've got to look at a wide range of products. But keeping to rely on oil from people who in large parts want to kill us, is stupid.
People are throwing a fit of a mosque because Muslims are bad, but its ok to pay them hundreds of billions of dollars per year.
And save the "drill at home" crap. Everyone knows the United States doesn't have the oil reserves needed to meet our demand, even with all restrictions removed from drilling.

Where did i say we go to war, so we can use oil for a diesel fuel powered electrical power plants?
The cheapest would be coal, the cleanest would be nuclear.
Common sense says installing huge solar arrays is not being done because its a frugal business decision to obtain cheaper electricity.
