“I think the difference between wind and solar is that solar has a clear path to efficency ratios that will make it an extremely viable energy player, even if it’s 10 or 20 years out from now.”

I remain highly skeptical about your assertion.Solar power is not economically viable today except in some offgrid locations. I see little possibility beyond fundamental scientific and engineering breakthroughs that it will be viable in 10 or 20 years.

My assertion includes scientific breakthroughs in the next 10-20 years. It’s clear that efficency has improved and continues to improve. The fact is that oil will continue to a major role in society for a long time to come, however, solar seems to have a bright spot in all of our futures.
