Obama's Green Obsession: More Harm Than Good?

"The same goes for solar panels. There is a fundamental physical law at work here. It states that the maximum amount of energy that the earth receives from the sun under optimum conditions is just under 1 kWh per square meter (11 square feet). So even if these panels were 100 per cent technically efficient they would still be grossly inefficient economically."


Solar Industry (and yes I do know what a KWh) Now you read and get educated>>>&g...

The entire PV industry has been experiencing tremendous growth, and that growth is expected to continue. In select regions that have the right combination of high electricity prices and good financial incentives, solar electricity already competes with conventional household electricity. As expected cost reductions continue, the size of these markets will continue to grow.

According to Solar Annual 2008, a new report by PHOTON Consulting, by 2012, solar power may constitute 35% of all electric capacity additions, and thereby move from the fringe of the electricity sector to the mainstream.

This subject and more will be discussed as part of the Searching for 'Second Solar'" Conference Series, a series of three conferences to be held in San Francisco on Dec. 2-4, 2008 by PHOTON Press, the world's largest publisher specializing in solar energy, and the Boston-based consulting branch PHOTON Consulting.

Dare to go???

Obama's Green Obsession: More Harm Than Good?

"that the maximum amount of energy that the earth receives from the sun under optimum conditions is just under 1 kWh per square meter (11 square feet)."

I notice you don't say FOR WHAT TIME PERIOD? You are an idiot
and obviously work for/or long oil and republican. To go to such lengths
and outright lie...wasn't 140 bucks a barrel enough?? 5 dollar gas enough??? Getting nervous at 2 buck gas? This country needs solar
power (and no one can hold the sun for ransom like the frgin oil companies/mid east have) along with other alternatives

Along with the housing and banks...the third reason we are in at least a recession, GREEDY OIL TYCOONS!!

First Solar and Solarfun May Defy Short-Term Weakness in Solar Sector

Read the stimulus package again, it says "environmental protection"
which certainly could be con trued as alternative energy. When you know the facts (this just came out over the weekend)...then write something... are you SURE about "What disappointed investors is that the stimulus package does not mention any renewable energy policy, which was widely expected." ?? The way China is about alt energy,
I wouldn't be so quick to state that.

Light the Way with LDK

Like many other articles on LDK, this spells out the likely future for LDK and the solar industry as a whole. There was the industrial revolution, the computer and internet revolution and now finally we are in the infancy of the energy revolution. Better and cheaper ways to harness solar and other alternative energy are just beginning!
We will always need oil and natural gas, but investing in and developing alternatives, will give all countries more choices...and less control to these conglomerates (and associated countries).

I say this as once again, a hurricane gives big oil companies an excuse to jack up oil and gas (I mean, as if 150 bucks a barrel when no tropical storm was in sight wasn't already enough)!

Financials: Bottoms Happen When Everyone's Convinced They Won't

Forgive the bears here Tom...they know not what they do. Excellent article and I agree. I've been watching the market and cycles and investing sine the 1970s on. I've seen this cycle in every market downturn and each sector. Very few believe they should be buying (at least starting to) and that's why pessism is so rampant and why stocks are such a bargain...they should be since the stock prices reflect that give-away mentality. Of course, some bad news is yet to come if it is time to buy, remember Oct 2002 in tech?
