Al,
The article was about GROWTH...did you miss that part or doesn't fit your preconceived notions?
Growth is due to a lot of factors, one of which being high energy prices which was the case until the latter part of 2014. People never imagined that energy prices would drop like a rock, which is why solar and wind got a huge boost. Even now, no one expects energy prices to remain this low, which is why solar and wind will continue getting huge investments, such as from Tim Cook.

I'm all for continued R&D into solar panel efficiency. Nothing wrong with that. But to think that solar energy is anything more than a supplemental source of energy now is ludicrous.

In the long-term future, however, fossil fuel prices will rise and solar energy prices will fall. When those lines intersect, that's when you'll have solar energy economically sustaining itself. That's what you could call an "inflection point."

But when will that be, and where will the point of intersection be? Hard to say. Given how much of a drag on the economy $4/gallon was, it may take a long time for us to get there.

These are concepts that are going through my mind, but I can't share with you because all you know how to do is repeat slogans.
