Why hasn't solar power taken over, then? If the market is as strong as you say, we should have decreased our oil usage by at least 15%. What's the deal?
As strong as I say? $70 billion isn't that large. It's large, but not like natural gas. Furthermore, you seem to be extremely unaware of the differences between US tax/regulations and foreign regulations. Was I talking about the US or the world? Please actually read posts before replying to them.
The part that I think most folks don't get, is that when a storm rips through and tears the hell out of your solar power system, the replacement cost is on you.
Hence why you get insurance. For the same reason replacing parts of your house is on you. What's your point? That's hardly a reason not to get solar. By that measure, we shouldn't buy anything.
There's no tax credit, no government bailout and the local power company sure as hell isn't going to replace your $20,000 solar system.
Ever heard of a thing called "Home Owner's Insurance?"

Oh boy. Seriously.

So, do you admit your comment on "There's no market" is dead wrong?
