The rich are not the problem, the wealthy are the problem. I like the way Chris Rock put it: ‘Shaq is rich… The white man who signs his check is wealthy.’
Millions of people could be up there with Bill Burr, if a few hundred wouldn’t hoard over half of all wealth in the country.
It smells to me like ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy’. Someone founded a company on the idea of ‘People have a good thing going, how could we exploit it?’
What happens when you want to exit the contract within the 30 years?
What if you want to sell the house, and the new owner doesn’t want this scheme? Do the panels move with you to the new place? Depending on how hard it is to get out of the contract, it may turn away potential buyers.
Lastly, I may be distrustful of every company, but… When the sun is shining at peak brightness, what’s the guarantee that you get to use all of it? Surely there’s some clever ‘load balancing’ programmed into that inverter… You will never know for sure, it’s not yours.
