   I wonder if the treehuggers have ever worked out how much plastic is involved   
   in creating these useless things.  They could perhaps charge up a golf kart,   
   but they certainly don't make a meaningful amount of electricity.  Solar   
   panels are for remote    
   areas like Africa, outer space, etc.  I once sent some students off to study   
   primates in Africa with a solar panel.  It powered a couple of laptops.  Not a   
   house.
