Pshaw! California. It's just a state full of liberal treehuggers! - source: New York Times, 1/25/12
The graph is part of an article on solar trends in the U.S. talking mainly about California. Pshaw! California. It’s just a state full of liberal treehuggers!
I recommend the entire web report. On page 20, Appendix C, there is state by state data for ’09, ’10 and Cumulative Installed Capacity. I want to do some comparison with political data — just for fun, of course, because I really loved my statistics class (fyi, that’s a joke).
Some questions for discussion:
- What state do you live in and what are your thoughts on your state and solar?
- What do you think I’ll find with my political comparison? Shall we take bets (Do I hear $10,000 anyone?)?
