How many people don't have solar, and vote for these ideas or elect those that push them through?

The "somebody else" solution ?

I repeat it because people point out the growth in solar as the solution to where these watts will come from, but they never seem to mention how they plan to get those solar watts into their cars when it's dark. Like they see the solar part of the gird like a bucket of water, you can just tap it whenever you want to. that if I put $20 of green power into the grid in the day, I can remove that same $20 green energy at night. It's more like a faucet that only flows in daylight.
