There could very well be a time when solar power makes sense in certain parts of the world.Australia is basically one huge desert.We have desert areas in this country.Maybe other parts of the world as well.But northern Europe,northern parts of North America? Hard to see that happening

What's the cost of the cell, what is it's life and will it ever survive long enough to pay back it's cost. But most importantly, why would anyone feel it's okay to destroy the desert with solar cells and solar plants when we wont let our citizens recreate on the same property?

Because people driving ATVs or dirt bikes around the desert don't kick back a percentage to congressmen.

California and the southwestern USA have some of the world’s best sunlight conditions for solar power. I’m seeing rooftop solar power panels going up everywhere in the Sacramento, CA area because of this.
