I believe the real problem lies with government.  Big government would like us all to become more reliant on, and fearful of, them!  

Thomas, it's not with the government per se, supposedly the people are the government, so it is people who are to blame. Education is the real key. Ignorance is bliss? This is why those who run the government keep us in the dark, on many issues,(it was funny when bush didn't know what a CNC machine was and was joking about it the other week), though the option to see the light is there. We can educate ourselves and learn what they are doing to us or else fall prey to them. A good example is the FDA, especially pharmacuticles, people wait until they approve what we intake, only then do the people ingest. Then time down the road, we are told it is no good and then have to fix ourselves with what they come up with next, not realizing that this too is not what it claims to be. So solar is something we have to do ourselves, and monies wasted on trying to convince those in the gov. otherwise could be used to grow the solar economy by manufacturing and installing and lowering pricing......with out their okay...since it is already legal.....
