If the true costs were added in, utility power might well be more
expensive than home-generated photovoltaics.  What price would we put on
the forests and lakes that are being destroyed by acid precipitation,
for instance?  Or the rivers killed by hydropower?  

The damage done to the global commons, our shared life support systems,
is a subsidy to the big utilities that we can't afford much longer. 
Sure, PV equipment is expensive.  But since when is the "cheap" way to
do something necessarily the best way?
