Interesting debate would be whether it would be hypocrisy to use the subsidy to build solar for your house while knowing and arguing that the system is net worse for everyone.
I would argue that operating under the fact of these market regulations, it would be ineffective use of capital for you to not use those subsidies.
It's potentially potentially a delicate battle between staying morally uncorrupted and truthful vs surviving.
- Reminds me of the old communist saying in CZ which perfectly describes how this corruption of market incentives breeds corruption of morals - the saying was "Who's not stealing (from the public), is stealing from his family"
