He Dr., as much as I support solar power (I am literally having panels installed as I type this), I think yours is probably the best articulated argument I've heard against solar. Since I can afford the pricey system, it was the right thing for me to do. I also bought more efficient appliances, switched out most of my bulbs to CF, and plan to power a plug-in car someday. Total energy payback should take 2-3 years for my system, and then just about all the electricity I consume will be from the sun! Hopefully prices will become more affordable in the not too distant future.
