Actually I was very surprised at how much solar there is in New Orleans. There obviously must be some sort of subsidy program going on there, because just driving around some of the neighborhoods it would often be 50% or more of the houses that I'd see solar on the roofs.

Meanwhile here in New Mexico a place you have to be a fool not to have solar, I see almost none. Honestly this amazes me more than anything. If you live in NM, AZ, NV or really anywhere in the south west you could easily run a house on solar and be grid free yet I see very little solar here.
