Green Lottery Brings Solar to the Farm

Now why can’t we do this? Have a lottery where interested people “contribute” $1, still have to pick numbers (though not as many) and the winner get’s a solar retrofit for their home? Okay, that’s not exactly how it happens in Great Britain, but this is America! If you don’t have a home, you can opt for 2/3 the dollar value in cash. If you do have a home and opt for the cash, it drops to 1/2. Why give a homeowner an option? Two reasons come to mind: (1), they may not be able to use the solar panels, especially if they live in a heavily wooded area, and (2), if it came down to having solar power on a house that was going to be forclosed on or having the cash to pay a few more payments on the house, I’d opt for the latter!
