An interesting tidbit I've run across that totally pisses me off about our fearless bleeders once again:

Each year I poke around looking for solar home kits to see what's feasible and practical, etc. This year I've discovered that their is a world wide *shortage* of large home systems and that prices have gone up as a result, 10-15%.

Does anybody in the USA even make solar panels? Last year, the most efficient panels I could find (18%) were from Korea. For Seattle, I believe I'll need upwards of 25% and a reduction in costs of 50%.

That 300 billion, going on a trillion, on the midEast wars would have gone a looong way to making the US the world leaders in silicon solar technology rather than the leaders in engineering more debt.
