SN,
Which tax breaks that differ from any other corporation? This seems to be a question that you or any here seems to want to answer.
Several links above describe the well-known $4 billion per year tax breaks given to the oil/gas companies and only to the oil/gas companies. I'm surprised you haven't heard of them before. If you claim that every corporation gets similar tax breaks, then you should provide examples, the burden is on you to show that every corporation gets similar tax breaks.
So it's okay for the oil companies to get $4 billion per year in special tax breaks, and apparently every corporation gets special tax breaks, but the solar industry doesn't deserve any help whatsoever? If that summarizes your position on the existing tax system, and I stated mine above, then let's just agree to disagree then. This is not the thread to discuss alternative tax systems, this is based on current reality.
Back to the South Owens Valley Solar installation, which seems to be economically viable all on it's own - we might see it shimmering in the morning sun from Mt. Whitney some day. Seems like a very promising project to me, one of many new large scale solar projects that are coming on line, under construction or in planning. The solar industry is expanding rapidly. Most people see that as a good thing.
