Solar: Energy's New Growth Sector

The only thing that will make solar work is for governments to stop the massive subsidies. When Spain made a big cut prices tumbled 30 - 50 % in months. Unfortunately prices need to come down by a factor of 10 to make it really work. It could work, though - remember when a DVD player cost $500? They are $20 now. The companies that make the 'real' hardware may or may not even exist now. Super scary to invest. But unlike wind, there is actual realistic hope that it might work.
