The thing I don't get is why we are doing this? At $20B that works out to just over $15K per household.

Take that money and let people put up their own solar and wind power, and you take away the need for those additional power lines. Last time I looked I was going to need $10-15K to go full solar/ wind power.

Never mind the green implications- it just makes more sense from a cost standpoint.
