Donn reports that recent activity on the Internet has tried to turn this fact on its head. While it is not unexpected that supporters of PV - Photo-Voltaic - rooftop solar would attempt to turn the facts upside down, the addition of a Tea Party activist to the group supporting PV rooftop solar makes news. Debbie Dooley, reportedly a founding member of the national Tea Party, and a member of Conservatives for Energy, supports the Florida ballot initiative called Floridians for Solar Choice.
The Floridians for Solar Choice web site says that giving Floridians should have a vote and a voice on energy. As expected, the left has grabbed this misguided revolt by a tea party member to exploit her in its campaign for more PV rooftop solar at taxpayer expense.
An article in Grist capitalized on the situation by calling for a Green Tea Coalition.
Rather than seeking an impossible dream, these Don Quixotes are proposing a nightmare.
Here is some of the misleading information about PV rooftop solar found on the Internet -
1. People should be free to add PV rooftop solar.
2. Utilities are against competition, because it hurts their profits.
3. It means lower peak-hour energy prices.
4. It is the Koch brothers who are against PV rooftop solar.
5. Fossil fuels get subsidies, why should not wind and solar.
6. Everyone benefits from PV rooftop solar.
These are misleading, inaccurate or just plain wrong. .and Part 2.
