There is no reason or excuse why solar power has not been mass produced to the point where it's affordable for everyone. Under the republicans alternative energies took a huge hit, starting back with Regan and the taxing that was added to it. My physics professor in collage had a successful windmill design, built 6 of them and they would produce so much electric that they spent most of the day back feeding it into the local power grid. He was put out of business buy those republicans. Those 6 windmills... 4 are still working today, 30 years later. The other 2 where never allowed to be put up.
What do you mean they were never allowed to be put up? I'm not following your story. People have been putting up windmills and plugging them into the grid for years. What is so different about your professors design that the Republicans came in and said "no you aren't doing this"?

Now if you want to say there wasn't enough funding to grow this, I can understand your point there. But you are saying he wasn't even allowed to put them up?
