You should check out Tom Steyer’s book Cheaper, Faster, Better which is all about solar investment…he is one of many people who are investing heavily in solar. The returns are good, but not as large as the heavily subsidized fossil fuel industry. The fossil fuel people are stuck in a system where they have created really high expectations which would be hard to meet with solar (or anything else really).

If style kryptonite for the rich, it would explain why the budget being pushed by the Republicans would gut solar programs, solar initiatives, and funding and support for alternate energy supplies.
