Do you think solar power has an undeservedly bad rap?
We see a lot of comments around here about how solar power is too inefficient and expensive, and nuclear power is the only solution to our energy issues.
However, there's already one Silicon Valley start-up producing thin-film solar panels at a cheaper cost per watt than coal power is produced nationally.

And a new report from the Prometheus Institute concludes that prices for traditional silicon-based panels should fall from $3.66 per watt (2007 figures) to $2.14 per watt in 2010, and more impressively, thin-film PV should go to $1.81 per watt from $2.96. When coal, currently the least expensive source of power, is around $2.10 per watt to generate, the expected drop in price for solar will make it far more competetive.

Do you think solar power is being given a bad rap, and if so, do you think it's a fair reputation?
There is a new green concept that I think even the conservatives and AGW deniers can get behind if they love their country... it is called ECONOMIC RE-LOCALIZATION.
It advocates the transition back to community based services, food, energy generation, water, construction and natural resource utilization. It allows the diversity and uniqueness that has been lost by corporatization to be restored. It is a great way to create green collar jobs of every type in any community around the world.
The multinational corporations and the Wall Street elite hate this concept because it returns power to the people in more ways than lighting and heating their homes. It is a way to divide and conquer the consolidation of political and economic power that they have been working to consolidate for so long now for the benefit of a tiny minority at the expense of everyone else while they rape the planet.
SOLAR is best used as a decentralized type of local energy generation, on every roof not huge centralized systems that continue to consolidate wealth and power and turn us all into tax and wage slaves!. As well as WIND, GEOTHERMAL and HYDRO. Why do you think investment hates the alternatives?
You've been duped if you think nuclear is the solution, because you will still have to buy power from a centralized for profit supplier. And sorry, THE WASTE PROBLEM has not been solved and probably never will be.
I have 500 watts (ten 50 watt panels) of solar on my home, it is more than enough power for all my modern technology and a shop too. I choose to still be conected to the grid, because I don't like the hazzards of batteries. Right now I have a credit of $500.00 on my electricity bill. I did the install myself, and with the cost of the inverter system it came in under $9,000.00. I have calculated that based on the cost of energy from centralized sources in my area, this decentralized system paid for it's self in 4 years 2 months and is now generating a monthly profit of $45.00 for me and my family, not some Wall Street Hedge Fund Manager!!!
DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT YET ???
Wake up people, smell the green alternatives growing all around you and get with the program. Take control of your life and help promote economic re-localization! It is how we can wage peace and prosperity for all of mankind and save the planet at the same time.
Ft. Collins Colorado just made it possible for people to have their own chickens in town. Some communities are buying foreclosed homes and re-zoning for small businesses to come in and offer goods and services within walking distance of the neighborhoods that were once suburban islands, Walmart and the big box stores are very concerned... this is the beginning of economic re-localization!
When we take back our water, energy and transpration sytems, make them public and not for profit we begin to restore the COMMONS that this country was founded on. PRIVATIZATION IS THE PATH TO SLAVERY !!!
WE BEGIN TO RECREATE COMMUNITY as we travel down the path of economic re-localization. And recreate places we want to live in and interact with others in a positive way, political polerization is seen as the cruel joke the corporations have been playing on for years with wedge issues about what we do in our bedrooms! Let's dismantle the current competetive live or die don't touch me world that has been given to us by the corporate world for their greedy benefit at the expense of our quality of life, liberty, freedom and pursuit of happiness!
