The well-off can afford to buy “feel good” solar panels, these panels being heavily subsidized by taxes paid by everyone. The wealthy can then sell back excess power from their subsidized panels (which raises the cost of electricity to everyone due to the high cost of solar). So the lower classes taxes are used to subsidize the rich doing their feel-good. Does this make sense?
