Lot of reasons for this...which range from conspiracy, to market demand, to whatever.

The technology of solar efficiency is increasing exponentially!
Everything from roof tiles to thin film paint applications could be a potential zero carbon footprint 40+ years from now.

It just hasn't hit the US market yet.

The sky needs to fall first.

um, respectfully, it hasn't hit the midwest yet. CA has the broadest availability of solar options in the country and the broadest adoption. PG&E starts at 11.7 cents/khw and moves up to 48 cents in top tier. We haven't done it yet but probably will this year. I am calculating 7 year ROI and a really good inflation hedge.
