      A few comments:
      First, the media can lead the formation of attitude toward domestic energy efficiency. Whether
      your local TV Station provides programmes on installing fibreglass or choosing new curtains does affect what gets done.
      Second, Hybrids are only attractive if most people drive inefficient vehicles.
      And how do you know that your neighbour isn't improving his energy use? Depending on where you live, solar water or solar pv may not be the best use of your money. Anything else, for example K Glass, is not easy to spot unless you local authority carries out an aerial
      IR survey or a camera with themal imaging capability is to hand.
      A final point - buying a hybrid is a one-off choice - improving the energy efficiency of an
      exisiting dwelling is a long slow series of small decisions - it used to be called thrift.

      Good call, and February's year end conference calls and updated FPE's should be interesting. Try
      factoring in JASO's projected growth for 2008 and see what that does for its numbers.

      Against this is the prospect of NanoSolar's entry to the market, and how quickly they can
      produce reliable, highly efficient, solar modules at low cost....
