I don't disagree. A gnome in my circles that I lost track of told me 2 yrs ago that yes Solar in CA is making inroads to the point of the Utility model in his professional option was on its way out. Not added to that discussion which I have learned in the last couple of months is the utter toxicity of photovoltaic panels as they loose their output abilities after 20 yrs. and with a lack of a recycling program, where do we put them, Yucca Mountain?

On wind, it is a totem pole to Nuevo-Socialism, Commrade, here is your ugly green energy in your face, suck on it, as it destroys vistas and those that have them near loose their resale value because of it and the low hum causes ear problems with those that live close. No Thanks....

Where is the discussion of a Manhattan style program to make Thorium Reactors a national priority, A constant source of E-power will be needed, the Electric Car Revolution is closer than anyone will tell you, I am seeing the signs all over the place. It is either Thorium Reactors or Co-Generation units in your basement that heat/cool/hot water and supply electricity to your home and electric car.

“I am seeing the signs all over the place”

yeah, me too. I saw A Tesla for the first time in my town of 100,000 a couple of days ago. Also saw a Leaf a year or so ago. Have yet to see any charging stations here, though i think there are a couple in Boulder now ...
