Spain Considers Raising Solar Installation Cap

With financial support from Spain & the US, it looks like the solar industry is heading in the right direction. When you factor in higher coal costs (at least from the railroads which ship the coal), lower costs per watt for solar panels, as well as transmission & siting issues limiting wind energy's growth in the US, it seems more utilities will be forced by their state renewable portfolio standards to invest in more solar, including utility-scale power plants (like the 850MW plant - the size of a large coal plant - that Sunpower & another company started building recently). How can you not be bullish on solar right now?
