Massachusetts is no California when it comes to sun. But that isn’t stopping the solar energy industry from flourishing here.
Massachusetts, better known for long, cold winters, gloomy springs, and gale-driven nor’easters, is undergoing an unlikely solar power boom, attracting solar companies from around the country that are installing systems for homeowners, businesses, and institutions.

With enough subsidies, banana plantations would flourish in Alaska.
Good article, Globe. It's great to hear about the state doing things to encourage renewable energy, and doing them in an intelligent way.
If you think oil gas and coal aren't heavily subsidized, you must have been living on another planet--or at least in another country. At least the subsidies for solar get us cleaner and make a little dent in climate change. Or doesn't Ozark think the climate is changing?
