Tesla's Highly-Anticipated Solar Roofs Go Up For Pre-Order Today (inhabitat.com)

Kristine Lofgren writes: Get ready: Tesla's ground-breaking Solar Roof tiles are available for order in the U.S. starting today. In typical fashion, CEO Elon Musk announced via Twitter that the anticipated tech would be available to order this afternoon with installation happening later this year. Tesla's tiles look like traditional roof tiles but they soak up all that delicious sunlight in order to power your home. According to the company, the tiles will be more affordable than typical roofing and can be paired with their Powerwall battery to power a home completely using solar energy.

    Ah yes, the classic American leftist moral dilemma.
    Saving Gaia vs. screwing the rich.

    Do we make alternative energy more attractive to end users by subsidizing it, or say 'screw the rich' and cancel subsidies so the ones who can afford the steep cost of alternative energy will have to pay full freight to feel like they're helping the environment.

    What a heartwrenching choice it must be...
