clearly the folks responsible for renewing the solar tax credit thought so.

imo, neither the solar tax credit, nor the oil & gas R&D credits are valid uses of public funds. so I quit.

Oh I was confused. From your original comment, I thought your goal was "solar to save the planet" and that your ethical issue was that it was primarily a financial play and only secondarily about increasing solar deployment. But from this comment it sounds like your primary problem was with taxpayer funding for a subsidy, which, fair enough, if you don't believe in subsidies, you shouldn't work for a company whose business model relies on them.
