I'm on the board of our homeowners association- we approve many solar proposals every time we meet. Lots of solar going in here.

Another major advantage Germany has on the US in solar is latitude. Munich, sort of in the Deep South of Germany, is at 48 degrees, the straight part of the US-Canada border is 49 degrees. It helps a lot for the sun to stay low on the horizon for power generation purposes. I don't know how Fox missed that, it seems right up their alley on the "science" front.
