A Rustbelt Revival: From Doom to Boom

Now if the "stupid 3" would just start making plug-in Electric cars to USE the solar power, it would be a real revival.

Instead, they are still stuck on the dead-end of "fuel cells are the future" and the "hydrogen hype". GM is still refusing to allow volunteer engineers from restoring museum-gutted EV1, and GM is still refusing to resume production of plug-in Electric cars.

Three Reasons Solar Sell-off May Be in Early Innings

Curious, because oil and electric have an oblique, almost non-existent relationship.

Almost NONE of our electric is generated by oil! Only on Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Catalina Isl. does oil have anything to do with generating electric.

The only relation is that extraction and refining oil takes a LOT of electric power; but that should only increase the price of electric, and make going solar even more attractive.

Hint: oil drilliing does not result in lower interest in solar, except in the ignorant!
