Mandated? That's the first I've heard of it.
Back in Conroe there was a family that wanted to install solar panels on their roof to save on money, but the homeowners association complained and said it looked ugly and made them take it down.
That's what I heard from my uncle anyway.

Even the new ones the home owners associations will block.

Home owner's associations are why solar power is not picking up in the suburbs. Most of the panel installation is in urban areas where it is of limited use because of limited space to place them, and in rural areas ( where it is of great use).
Some states have passed laws to block the enforcement of such provisions.

Because you can produce electricity with nuclear, geothermal, and hydropower, all of which are efficient and, especially for the last two, practically inexhaustible.
The problem with hydrogen fuel is that even when the technology is developed it'll only solve the renewability problem- it'll still contribute significantly to global warming, unless all the vapor can be recaptured. Which is similar to recapturing all the CO2 and CO emissions from a fossil-fuel vehicle.

In 600 BC it was discovered that rubbing a piece of amber with cat fur would cause it to attract small pieces of paper. This discovery led to the invention of the first apparatus for the mass production of static electricity, in which a number of cats are attached to the rim of a rotating wheel, aligned such that their fur comes into contact with a specially shaped block of amber.
