Nope, not several decades. Maybe two. One, for feasible large scale projects.
It is cheaper, thanks to the Chinese glutting the market. The hardware, that is. Initially. But I'd still like to see the numbers compared to traditional energy sources. Oil is becoming much cheaper, and may stay there for years, and gas is super plentiful in the east. And I'd love to hear if those things can put up with a harsh northeast climate for very long before being replaced. Lord knows buildings take a severe beating up there.
Managers "hide bound"? Maybe. But ski hills are low margin businesses akin to farming. Worse, even. No government supports, like Ag. I certainly wouldn't want to run such a capital intensive business that is dependant upon the weather. No, if the cost savings were there, I'm pretty sure somebody private would have gone down that road. Hell, just for the PR greenie thing, if it broke even.

Can I cleave the difference between the use of solar power as an energy source and it's use as a mechanism of self aggrandizing twits?
Solar panels are pervasive in Yurp and there's a few around CO supporting ski related uses.
See Trombe Wall for some history on solar: "The essential idea was first explored by Edward S. Morse and patented by him in 1881.[1] In the 1960s it was fully developed as an architectural element by French engineer Félix Trombe and architect Jacques Michel".

So consider making the distinction between a good idea and some egomanial blohard using somebody elses work to further their image.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

As the largest U.S. solar manufacturer for more than 35 years, SolarWorld is uniquely recognized as America’s solar leader. We meticulously carry out the most important steps in the solar production process on U.S. soil—from sourcing and manufacturing to assembling and hiring.

Did you see solar arrays thirty years ago anywhere?
And energy is much much more expensive in yurp, and governments support alternatives much much more.

You might ask yourself that question sometime.

Gee a minute ago it was about the existence of solar 30 years ago. Must be me.
Anyway, make the distinction or don't and just go thrash like the rest of the idiots.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

My argument is that this is a waste of money. Right now.

If everyone reduced their thinking to money, we'd never get anywhere and would end up like a bunch of cranky old fucks arguing over meaningless shit on the internet and that would really be stupid.
Anyway, you can't own your thrashings...fine.
Solar has been around, it's an investment that may or may not pay off and neither you nor any so called expert on the subject will trump time.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski
