It is not likely to set off a clean tech explosion, that explosion is already going on due to the high gas prices. Let the market do it's thing, the time for government subsidies was 10 or 20 years ago when there was no market.

McCain was endorsed at a California Solar Power company during the republican primaries, now all of a sudden he's saying solar panels are "shoddy" and he does not support and incentives for solar. To really "jumpstart" green energy we need feed-in tariffs similar to what Germany and Spain and a handful of other countries did to start an explosion of investment and expansion of the green energy economy.
