Al, > Roughly speaking, if you were to cut the current cost of amorphous PV in half from what it is today, it would cost ~$500B to cover 7% of Arizona with it. Clearly affordable.

Your assumption is that solar cells can eventually be made at $2 per square foot.

If true, that would mean I can buy a solar panel for my own roof for just under $1,000, not including the cost of installation.
