Essay: http://SolarNotBombs.org/
Summary: Might we have more than 95% certainty that reallocating preexisting taxes directly for gigawatts of solar technologies would provide profound expansions of the still fledgling solar industry? Not just over many decades, but this year?

If there is already a consensus on man-made climate change and the science is settled, then shouldn't spending far more directly go into existing solutions instead of continuing to study the problem and potential future solutions. What if ALL Federal Climate Change Funding had gone directly into purchasing solar technologies? If we had chosen this strategy in 1993, the total value of U.S. solar installations would have been about $132 billion larger in 2013, about 10 times larger than our current solar capacity. If we had devoted half of the military budget since 1993, the total value of U.S. solar installations would have been closer to $5.8 trillion larger in 2013, about 416 times larger than our current solar capacity (141% of consumption needs).
