Al, I love it when you liberals post links without actually reading what's in them:
At the same time, China, which in past years had flooded the market with solar panels, did not see growth as strong as had been expected. Also this:
Ironically, because the price of photovoltaic (PV) modules (the building blocks of solar panels) bottomed out last year, investors worldwide became concerned that profits would also drop. PV prices plummeted after China saturated the market with low-cost solar panel modules. The result: PV capacity rose from 31 gigawatts (GW or a billion watts) in 2012 to a record 39GW last year, even as investments in solar capacity dropped, according to a 2014 report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Flooding the market, saturating the market, look at the language used to describe China's actions.
Given that solar still only contributes less than 1% of all the energy consumed in the US, you would think that there'd be huge demand for something that was promised to be "renewable, clean, and essentially free," at least before oil prices dropped through the floor.
This is why you'll never get it. Like Wharf Rat, all you do is post links without understanding the implications behind anything you post.
