"Your graph clear shows that $5/watt has been achieved for some time."

It clearly shows that your claim that the "cost of the technology continues to decline", is 100% false. The prices bottomed out 20-25 years ago. In other words, solar power is a technology that has come and gone. It peaked long ago without ever becoming competitive.

As for that "$5/watt" number, as has already been explained to you, that figure represents an unobtainable, theoretical peak watt and not the real deliverable watts. Deliverable watts are the only thing that count. The reality remains that the cost is $25-$30 per deliverable watt.

"Look more carefully at your information rather then pointing your guns at us and shooting us with your ignorance."

Resorting to ad hominem attacks only serves to underscore your failure to provide reasoned, logical responses on this subject.

The facts remain undisputed by you and they clearly show Bob Lazar's(!) crazy get-rich hydrogen car scheme (1.)makes no economic sense, (2.)it makes no fuel efficiency sense and (3.)it does not lessen our dependence on foreign imports of fossil fuels.

Interesting, I was just thinking the same thing about you. I don't have desire to allow this discussion to escalate into a flame out. I think this technology is very interesting, and it is a glimpse into our future. Whether it ever becomes a main stream product or just a do-it-yourself job (i.e., the long-ez), it’s still fascinating.

My prediction is that a hand full of handy people will convert their cars using the kit being developed by United Nuclear, and maybe in the future GM will build a few cars for a small market- similar to the electric car they built in the 1980’s (EV1).

And if it fails you can take great pride in knowing you were against people trying new things.
