Would this have anything to do with the fact that solar is not yet economically feasible? Or are the lease holders just waiting for their stimulus funds to arrive?

As Spain found out, building in dusty areas requires lots of water to clean the solar mirror or panel.

Well, we don’t want them to rush into anything.

After all, there may be an even GREENER technology coming down the ‘pike just any ole day, now.

Yep, it’s coming.

A greener technology.

Actually, it's due to the greenies. There's a project around here that keeps getting stalled due to three complaints from the greenies:

• The need for water to occasionally wash the dust off the solar collectors.
• Tortoises.
• The potential for dust being thrown up during construction.
