The very sensible Robert Merkel has a very useful post at LP about why government subsidies for solar cell power don't really make much sense overall.
Despite the arguments he convincingly explains, individuals who install the systems and take the benefit of the government subsidies will feel as if they are doing good. It's easy to understand why, when they can look at their roof on a sunny day and think "I am making my contribution". It's a pity the world is more complicated.
