re: Go China! If they can bring the cost per watt down to $2, then this technology will be viable everywhere as an energy source replacement for fossil fuels. I know. Wouldn't it be a hoot to watch as they decommission power plants because so much electricity is being fed back into the grid from "local", clean sources?

On a number of occasions, you have complained about the 'backwardness' of the Muslim world.....that in many ways there is a huge gap between them and us. But what about the gap that exists between Americans; which for reasons of simplicity is referred to as the gap between the blues and the reds? While not as large, there is a significant disagreement on how to deal on number of issues. And certainly a number of standards are decidedly different. And certainly the level of sophistication and education varies between the two groups. Even more frustrating that smaller gap has resulted in a near derailment of our international policies. How can we possibly span the gap between westerners and Muslims if we can't even span the gap within our own country? Curious as to what you think.
