The Alberta government recently announced they are handing out $5M dollars to municipal governments to install solar panels and they are offering another $500,000 dollars for farmers to do the same.
But they couldn’t do this right, either.
The solar panel companies are complaining about the roll out of the program, saying that since the solar rebates for municipalities don't kick in until March, whatever business these companies were going to do between now and then is being delayed until the rebates come into effect.
The solar companies aren’t getting their indirect corporate welfare quickly enough.
These handouts and incentives are all taken out of the pocket of your family - every last one of them.
If you lived in Canada in the winter and are shuffling around in a sweater because you’re paying 30% more for natural gas as temperatures plummet, realizing that someone is getting gov't money to put a solar panel on their barn - which does not work well.
Wouldn't that warm your heart?
===========================
As an electrical engineer - who has worked with solar panels since the late 1960's...
Most of the let's fix the world problems seem to get the fast track - before they even get a real engineering study done. Which is set up for a very stupid and expensive- time consuming failure!
*** Fixing the world takes a lot of planning, overview, and study with a true - time tested path to any form form of positive usage... The best engineered systems are conceived and tested {evaluated} to provide the best acceptable results for the time and cost of the project or study!
