    Well I mean of course! Can’t have those low and middle income class people having alternatives now, can we? Won’t someone think of the billionaires?

    “This program was the rainbows and puppies of clean energy — it was truly apolitical,” said Andy Posner, the founder and chief executive of Capital Good Fund, a nonprofit group that provides small loans to low-income people for things like making their homes more energy-efficient.

    Yeah, about that:

    Did that guy not realize the Republicans are literally the puppy-killing party? He shouldn’t have been surprised.

        This seems most likely. Georgia isn’t a great place for residential rooftop solar, because power rates here are only $0.086/kWh, a lot of residences are buried in trees, and it rains 1 day in 3. But the people who are interested are mostly going to be Democratic-ish, anyway. The red state core is more interested in backyard, coal-fired generators.

        ETA: Ironically, QCells recently expanded their solar panel plant in Georgia.

        They won’t know because they don’t want to know. They just want to live in their little fantasy where they get to pretend all their shitty attitudes are good, and any problems they cause are always someone else’s fault.
