One of the most important economic issues in modern times...can't deploy widely because of capacity and cost and the same issues are preventing cost reductions. A 46" LCD TV, a few years ago cost $10K. Now you can buy a 46" 1080P at Costco for under $1K or roughly the same price as a 200W PV panel...all because of incredible demand driving economy of scale and competition...consider that a LCD is a significantly more complex device than a PV panel.
