Also, I'm not sure I like the massive gov't subsidies of the corporate farmers in the Midwest for ethanol, which ultimately isn't the right solution.

I agree. Haven't seen what they are doing with solar... but they have a big need there. Interesting article here -

about FSLR. Could be the INTC or MSFT of the future... or not.

Still the best method is to give incentives to efficient energy clients and tax the inefficient energy clients. Then the free market determines the best solutions to what is the most efficient, and get the biggest incentive. A efficiency holy grail for innovators and manufacturers; best solution wins and is technology agnostic. But also the hardest to pass politically... no lobby with big bucks and the SUV owners would be incensed by subsidizing the Prius crowd. Can you imagine?
