I spent $50,000 setting up a solar company back in 2017.
Do you know how many cities across the country have voted not to allow solar on residential rooftops..for variety of reason? Thousands.
You have truckloads of zoning restrictions prohibiting solar installations. Green energy can be added to the list of taxpayer supported frauds.
If I told you what actually goes on in the industry... you would not believe it. Anytime some bureaucracy is pitching any construct of wholesale advancement on any social, or political construct it's most likely... fraudulent.

They brainwashed thousands of college students back in the 1980's while I was in college. Selling them that the best way to wealth and success was to be an "engineer".
The cultural gatekeepers never specified what type of engineer you needed to be, or what industry to seek out, or the market demand, or how to deploy you degree to actually make...money.
STEM is fashionable for no other reason than it could be weaponized as a career track to "generate funding" for educational entity's that created a STEM track. Get a STEM degree, focus on STEM for woman and girls, etc.
These pitches for education equality did not focus on whether students actually had a love, or desire to go into technology in the first place...but was an excellent way to generate a magical bean construct (that if planted into every school system in the country it would bare economic fruits).
You just have to give us lots of money so this transformative process could happen...for everyone, but please don't ask how to measure this transformation...or if this actually works.
It was all a hustle.

"Bryan's Song". The movie about Bryan Picallo and Gayle Sayers friendship circa 1971. It's a movie about hope and inspiration despite the looming death of one of the characters played by James Caan. Billy Dee Williams has a great performance.
