“”Shiao said the demand for solar is growing in the United States, noting that the number of solar installations doubled from 2009 to 2010 and is expected to further increase in 2011.
“The demand side is very bright,” Shiao said.”””
The only reason the demand is bright is from the huge government expenditures to buy or subsidize solar energy.
Without Obama socialism solar energy would be nothing.
You are correct. Much of the "demand" is coming from universities and other publically owned buildings and their little "experimental" solar and wind projects. Projects that will not produce cost savings for at least 25 years, at which time the solar panels will probably be junk.
The real world is not going to be run on sunshine and unicorn flatulence.
