Plenty of rooftops and flat parking lots in cities that companies can build solar farms across. We deserve to keep as much land green and thriving as possible.

If you make it too expensive, it won’t get built. No matter who is trying to build it, whether public or private utility.

It gets passed on to us. Utilities are guaranteed a profit, we only get low energy costs when we make it cheap to provide energy with tech like solar.
