Meh, some of the stronger technology based solar companies will survive and thrive in the future. 1kw per square meter of basically free energy is G-d's gift to this planet and nothing to sneer at. The oil-addicted retards will eventually fall by the wayside or just cack it from old age. Same as the idiots who yelled at drivers to "GET A HORSE" 110 years ago!!
I'd much rather my tax dollars be invested in solar power, even if some of those investments don't pan out. Better than spending the money fighting savages in the Middle East or subsidizing companies that dump oil into the Gulf
Hydrogen and electricity made using nuclear and renewable energy will almost certainly be the future. Why not help this country get on the path to that future instead of sticking with 20th century technologies?
