There's a great post by the Scientific American about the growth potential of solar power generation in the U.S. It quotes Harry Fleming, CEO of Acro Energy Technologies, who says memorably,
"It's like watching the Internet mature in 1995."The post goes on to elaborate, saying that the cost of solar panels is dropping dramatically; the installation cost for solar panels is dropping--not as dramatically--but enough to decrease the pain in the pocketbook that causes most consumers and businesses to balk at entering the solar grid.
George Musser, the author of the post, plans on updating it as he installs solar panels on his house. It looks like a good page to bookmark. Have a good weekend, everyone!
