I don't support this mandate because it's a one size fits all rule. Do we really want Alaskans and Mainers to be forced to have solar? Why not mandate low carbon energy and then let technologists figure out the cheapest solution for each new home? This would be far more cost effective and limit emissions far better.

Or better yet, just tax carbon sources. If your energy bill doubles over night, you will be interested in solutions, and maybe solar isn't the ideal solution in your area.
