    Which investment generates more energy? How about weighted by usefulness in various ways?

      KWH per dollar during whole lifetime, solar wins, even when oil is subsidized (for national security reasons)

      There are problems with solar that it is not a steady supply of energy, yet I would argue that it is better that way. People should sleep during the night, not work.
