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.

im in canada, and was floored by how many houses / businesses had them.
they had whole.. 'contraptions'... that had full rotation on seaside shops/restaurants.. but looks like someone built it at home based off mats.. best we have in vancouver is random pedestrian crosswalks with attached solar panels, and the odd enthusiast.
Interesting to hear about NO.. guess utilized due to the disaster?
anyway, it is just my opinion on a 2 week trip.. but it was the one main thing i remember.
