Obama is the last word for the solar folks! If he goes nuclear, and allows the proliferation of small reactors, Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Tidal and Geothermal folks must fight back! fission reactors are one engineering error away from Armageddon!

Oil has had a steady climb to $50.00 bbl, and there is nothing left for OPEC to do but limit production, as they run out, to increase their income, so expect them to do just that! Solar is too big to die now, and the resource of choice for the private investor. Wind is a good second choice if you have the location, but solar is everywhere, and the new batteries coming out daily resolve many of the older storage problems. As well, a population less vulnerable to advertising are scouring the market place for low consumption appliances. A new LED light bulb shows great promise for Solar folk SEE:
“A £2 energy-saving lightbulb that lasts for 60 years has been developed by scientists at Cambridge University. The researchers have designed a bulb that is three times more energy efficient than today’s best offer and can cut lighting bills by 75 per cent.The bulbs are 12 times more efficient that conventional tungsten bulbs and three times more efficient than compact fluorescent “energy efficient” bulbs. They can burn for 100,000 hours and they illuminate instantly and can be dimmed, unlike energy efficient bulbs.”

as does advances in microwave technologies for cooking – Sadly, but a fact none the less, economic downturn promotes independent, untaxable, unmeterable Solar home power. The only thing that can hurt Solar development is fusion. I wouldn’t hold my breath for that one to come any time soon. The flooding of the American car market with Chinese models in 2011 or before, will send even more people out looking to go off-grid and independent of “The Man” and will give Solar and the other renewables or perpetuals, as you like, a huge boost. The fall of GM and Chrysler will strain the fabric of society as we know it, opening whole new customer demographics for renewable energies, Solar at the front of the line! America is going through a metamorphosis of immense proportion. Expect change, change for the long-term good, change to sustainable styles from the victims of “rusty Fords” and planned obsolescence, change to fuel free, perpetual sustainable power sources and frugal use of them!

[...] Google, at least, will keep investing, with $100 million slated for its new Google Ventures arm which will look at clean energy, technology, and biotech, in the WSJ. Small wind-power developers might be the biggest winners from the new subsidies package; in the old system, big banks only financed big projects, in Greenwire. Is the solar industry in for more pain? Falling silicon prices and a supply glut threaten to slam profits globally, at Earth2Tech. [...]

China's subsidies might be genuine cause they really need alternate energy sources, given how polluted the cities are getting there!
