solar is big now, in socialist europe, where the desire for good life, wastrel govt to dictate its adoption at tax payer subsidies, and where national security imperative come together, but making much of the stuff in china
china just implemented practical subsidies to popularize solar, starting a week ago
olympic village show cased a lot of solar
all system go go go
honeywell is already making money setting up and operating solar for schools in communist california using current subsidized economics
china make 1/3 and ramping to 1/2 of global solar pv cells, but currently export 99% of it due to everyone having to subsidize via use of inexpensive and carbon-emission mispriced coal, and this is changing
india, supposedly democratic, is nowhere on solar, but making the usual one step forward and one step back progress
given that solar is a scale biz, suspect supposedly democratic india will be importing solar energy from obviously capitalist china
as efficiencies rise and cost fall, and storage solutions and dc appliance solutions makes assured progress, solar grid parity will march from remote parts of equator towards the poles of the planet |
