How about TSL hitting new highs as well as strong momentium with CSIQ, JASO and SOLF. These were the big moves during this short week.

The article mentions ENER which finally showed some life but is still short of the 50dma.

Oh, and dividing the capital cost of a new plant into the annual capacity with no consideration of operating costs for Solyndra seems flawed to me, unless they only last one year...]]>

Big Hoopla Over Climate Change Proposal http://seekingalpha.com/article/115084-big-hoopla-over-climate-change-proposal?source=feed#comment-357674 357674
Face it, continued increasing use of fossil fuels with little regulation towards cleaner technoligies is poisoning our planet. Mercury in most of our water, acid rain, and heavy particulate matter in our air affects us all. The Americain Lung Assoc estimates that ~23,000 people die each year from crappy air. We don't pay the true cost of dirty power at the pump or the meter, We pay for it with degraded health and lower quality of life.

So if global warming is a hoax yet we clean up our act, then we still all benefit. If not a hoax and we dismiss the evidence and continue to increase, not just carbon emissions, but also associted toxins, we'll all suffer the ramifications.

Cap and trade may or may not be part of the solution. Cleaner technoligies and greater efficiencies need to be adopted.

People seem to accept change slower than the climate changes.]]>

Solar Grid Parity: The Great $1 Myth http://seekingalpha.com/article/109889-solar-grid-parity-the-great-1-myth?source=feed#comment-324625 324625 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:42:24 -0500 Is Solar Power Inherently Deflationary? http://seekingalpha.com/article/68788-is-solar-power-inherently-deflationary?source=feed#comment-127948 127948
Yes Solar is a big threat to the oil and coal industries. But the truth is we don't pay the true cost at the pump of those dirty fuels as they poison our streams and choke our populations.

Oh, and nuclear is an insane proposition with a heap of baggage.
