Sadly, laws don't work like friendly, gentle reminders that something should be done, they're a bit more forceful than that. Legislating requirements for rooftop solar means getting rid of the cheaper non-solar house option, and shrinking the housing market. Not saying it's a bad idea, but the people building houses as well as the ones wanting to buy cheaper houses are right there next to the big energy companies against mandatory rooftop solar.

I would love to see every house have solar, but it has to progress towards that naturally.
