“A Whiff of Panic...”

Solar panel production capability is in line with market forces and it currently limited by a shortage of high grade silicon. Nothing is going to change that near term. If we want to significantly reduce our consumption of oil, what we need is a massive investment in nuclear power and a technology called concentrated solar which is far more economical that photovoltaics. Lastly, I take great offense at any suggestions from non-Coloradans/Utahns with regard to resurrecting oil shale production. There has been some enthusiasm directed at a nascent refrigeration barrier/in situ processing technology. Believe me when I say this will generate 2-3x more greenhouse gases per barrel of convention oil and still has the potential to greatly contaminate our water supply. Don't give Big Oil the chance!
