It`s not the end of solar energy, it`s the end of subsidies for it. From wikipedia:

A very important point, Mrs S. All subsidies should be ended. Renewables will do just fine, in fact they're doing pretty well even with the huge subsidies that Fossil Fuels still get. |

"All subsidies should be ended." Agreed. In fact, subsidies should be outlawed. Whether this or that will do well in the free market, well, I don't have a crystal ball. |

What choices do we have? Either sit and wait until Fossil Fuels dry out......or invest in renewable energies. Nuclear power plants aren`t really the answer.... the waste sends out rays, plus the danger of Fukushima. |

Not sure we have choices. It's not like we can decide, through a vote, or central planners, whether to use this resource or that alternative. We will decide of course, but more in the way we, society, decides everything, along lines of an emergent order out of millions of individual choices, a complex dynamic system, for example, the way we decided on the QWERTY keyboard, or to use Google instead of other search engines. Want green, sell it to consumers. Otherwise, careful what you wish for and try to force through political means. Edited by Chris, Feb 24 2012, 02:24 AM.

To me, "green" is not an ideology like wearing self-knitted sweaters and eating Tofu...it`s more the fact, that sooner or later we - mankind - have to face the necessity that we need alternative resources if -in the long run - we want to stay on that planet. |

What did that famous Indian Chief say? It goes somehow in the line of " You can`t eat money......" Looking only at the financial aspect is shortsighted, imo. Yet, there are good news too:

My my Chris such a love and adoration for the oil robbers. I'll bet you are peeing in your pants over the latest round of gas prices. |
