After all, the energy content of sunlight at the equator at high noon is 1kW/m2. Yup - not exactly Moore's law - since the upper end is fixed no matter what material we use.

Ten, I know it's against your ideology, but please read this: ucsusa.org The amount of solar energy hitting the Earth in one hour, if we could perfectly capture it, would power us for a YEAR! Which allows a LOT of inefficiency. "After all, the energy content of sunlight at the equator at high noon is 1kW/m2. That's no more energy than what it takes to power a hair dryer, much less a car." Is this what the (R)'s tell you? Where do you GET these crap "facts"? How many square meters are AT the equator, you moron!
