I would have thought we would be beyond that point and further along in understanding the solar industry, but apparently I’m wrong. I said I would consider it, but that I was really hoping to establish a precedent, legally speaking, beyond Torrance. This is still an immature industry. No, it’s still fresh. And this is boring.
