Subsidizing solar panels

It has been my contention for years that people who were sympathetic to the Soviet Union during the cold war migrated to the environmental cause when the wall came down. Recently I pointed out that the Audubon Society seems unconcerned about the estimated 200,000 birds that are killed by wind mills meaning that politics trumps birds. Now there is another example coming into the news and it was first brought to my attention by the congressional black caucus. The government has a program which provides incentives for people to place solar panels on the roofs of their homes and in the low usage times the home owner can sell the excess energy back to the power company. Now the people who purchase these panels are in the upper income groups while lower income people cannot afford the investment in panels. The result is that lower income people are subsidizing the higher income people and this is basically a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. The black caucus has brought this to the attention of congress but the environmentalist lobby has thwarted any action to remedy this situation. They cannot discontinue the subsidies to those who purchase solar panels because most people would not buy them without government financial assistance.
