What are the disadvantages of solar power?

where?
how much sun?
are there trees in the way?
do you have a section of roof that slopes south?
is your roof strong enough to support the solar panels?
does your power company pay part of the cost?
or pay for electricity you generate and feed back into the lines?
does your neighbor have trees in the way.

Roy Said:

Would this be a good way to fight Global Warming at the grassroots level?

We Answered:

Apples web site is profuse with politically correct hyperbole about how much they care about the environment, but I couldn't find one single reference to solar energy. I think yours is a good idea because it would result in either a badly needed jump start for the solar industry or unmask Jobs as yet another double talking baby boomer billionaire.
