I also have solar panels on my house. I like them, and I'd do it again if I had to. But I'm not certain it always increases home value in all cases.
It's not just the price of electric cars that needs to come WAY down, though it obviously does. The range needs to increase, we need way more charging stations, and last but not least, we need a way to generate the electricity to power all those charging stations. Wind and solar aren't even worth mentioning, they're nowhere near sufficient. Nuclear would do it, but we aren't supposed to talk about that. Are we supposed to rub balloons on our heads all day long?
I have a friend who has been a commercial lobsterman in P-Town for many years. After two years of dismal catches, he's left the industry, he can't make a living in Cape Cod Bay. The line below which water is too warm for lobsters, is moving north, rapidly. The water is obviously warming, and it's having bad effects.
