Re:US solar plant costs fall another 30 per cent in one year by redwood on Wednesday September 20, 2017 @07:52AM (#15292678)
Very true, but this tends to be an issue mostly in California. That's why it's quite surprising that states like Arizona, Nevada, Utah, NM and Texas haven't started getting into this in a big way. I think it's just a matter of time. Especially since they can sell their power to California for a big profit.
