Senate May Kill Solar Rally

FSLR is already looking at nonsubsidized markets that they can compete in right now and make a profit. While the tax credit would help expand business and scale at a faster pace it will happen nonetheless although at a slower pace to grid parity if it does not pass. The U.S. isn't the only market either. The other markets in the world as well as individual states (ie CA) have enough incentives in place for enough years under already passed law to allow at least a couple of the solar players to expand capacity and the market to a size that they can compete without any subsidy anywhere in by 2011-2012, if not sooner. And that's without considering the passage of some sort of tax on carbon making all current cheap energy not cheap anymore with a future McCain/Obama/Clinton administration as they all are on the global warming bus together.
