Four Chinese Solar Stocks Under Threat from Pollution

Good point canb888. Also, if light has been dimming over the past 50 years, don't you think investors would know this? The info you present is not exactly forward looking. Also, I love how you attribute the fall solar stock prices to the fall in oil. This is typical causual ambiguity at its best. Irwin, what is solar energy used to do? It's used to power homes and the grid. Yet less than 2% of grid power comes from oil. So the fall in the price has nothing to do with it unless there is an assumption made that solar will be put on car roofs in the future. The argument that natural gas prices have crumbled and governments saddled with fiscal deficit might combine to eliminate feed in tariffs would be a stronger argument. But then add in Russia's sabre rattling of late and I think you'll see that energy independance is really the issue at heart.
