Mr. Gogo, I guess where the question arises with the statement is how quickly alternatives will become competitive for an increasing # of projects. Most of what I read comes from the Alternative Energy threads, but it impresses me how quickly costs for alternative energy are coming down, and are continuing to do so. I obviously don't know how this race plays out, but I was surprised at how big an impact alternatives are making at present. Lots of hurdles admittedly, but is a strong datapoint I'm trying to learn more about for investment opportunity. solarindustrymag.com "Renewable power, excluding large hydropower, accounted for 44% of all new generating capacity added worldwide in 2011 - up from 34% in 2010. This accounted for 31% of actual new power generated, due to lower capacity factors for solar and wind capacity."
