With Help from California, Solar Gets Fired Up

Hey spinner, you probably know a few truckers, ask them how they feel about fuel prices. BTW that's a low blow banging the drum about fallen soldiers to sympathize for your political beliefs, don't cheapen their sacrifice, there is a lot of loss around all of us. I'm rural, work my ass off, and not rich probably like yourself. Last time I checked America has been the center of the world for innovation for awhile, people need to get their collective heads out of their butt and realize this is not a dem/rep political thing. If it wasn't for innovation we would still be riding horses, thats the funny thing about innovation it does a lot falling before it can walk. I agree wind is great where its windy like in my backyard. They're building wind turbines and the pieces being trucked in are followed by a heavy state trooper escort because of the local nuts who don't want them. They must think they're Jesse James vs the pinkertons all over again. IMO energy indepence is an excellent way to fight terrorism, physical and economical.

With Help from California, Solar Gets Fired Up

And oil isn't subsidized? Why do you think gas is cheaper here than in europe or even canada. Honestly all sides piss me off on this. You don't have to be an environmentalist to believe in the Alt. energy story. Thats why I like Pickens. I'm sure he's interested in the next way to make a buck, but, that's the way it should be. It's business, save your tree huggin' for your time off. Solar is only ever going to work on a municipal scale, period. So these people who have panels on their house are fine, but, thats not the way forward. Expensive homegrown energy will continue to look expensive, until foreigners who call the shots screw with us again, opec is already clamoring that there is 1 mil barrels/day too much available on the market get ready for that spigot to close a little.

Solar Stocks Show Signs of Life

America doesn't need to wake up for solar to be good, the rest of the world is going to take us to the woodshed on this one (just look at the socialistas in spain). Just look at Brazil now whos laughing in the game of energy independance. These companies represent the next generation, panels aren't so ugly anymore just look at the BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) this is not your fathers solar panel. Some of the offerings from STP look like actual skyscraper windows and are actual roofing grade material, not some hunk of junk sitting on top of the roof. Hey, by all means keep playing negative sentiment then I can get more on the cheap.
