I am very much for it. In fact the company Tesla has made a solar roof that has the durability of 25 year asphalt shingles, even looks like them. From what I've heard they are very affordable, only slightly higher than a regular roof, but the energy gain is fantastic. https://www.tesla.com/solarroof Depending on the location that you live, any excess energy can be given back to the grid and some companies will pay you for it. I think that's going to be rare as time progresses but in one documentary about a earthen (or it could have been an earthship) home their payment for electricity/heat was $300 a YEAR, not a month. Side: Free Energy. More security.

The main benefit may be that it would negate Trumps horrendous "bring back coal" policy! Anyone that thinks coal does ANYTHING worthwhile for the mining states should read John Grisham's "Gray Mountain". Sure, it's fiction, but like his other novels it's based on legal and the actual facts that go on around us. The ONLY thing beneficial about coal is what it does for the coal coalition's bottom line! Side: Free Energy. More security.
Meanwhile all the coal workers can get an education to start working in the green energy area such as solar panel installation, upkeep, cleaning. Windmill installation, upkeep. Sales in green energy devices and so on. Heck of a lot healthier for them too. Side: Free Energy. More security.
