Hmmm, as someone who invests and watches the stock market (but stays away from solar, too risky), do you have any good refutations against articles like http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/12/16/ ... rm+Tech%29?
What are some publicly traded current solar companies that are booming and at what rate?
Anybody who thinks that the stock market and the real world are the same thing is delusional. Look at the price of Apple today. Remember when it was worth more than Exxon/Mobile?
Ok. Forgot the stock market. You still haven't provided any evidence that it is booming, let alone solid quantitative evidence. Solar companies laying off 30% of their workforce, closing plants, going bankrupt, being unable to pay their bonds and a price erosion doesn't sound like a positive "boom" to me. The lower prices are potentially good for consumer though...
I've started another thread at viewtopic.php?f=45&t=12403&p=283926#p283926 to discuss since this has nothing to do w/battery upgrades now. We can carry on the discussion there.
I'd like to be proved wrong.

I just can't let this misinformed quote pass. The solar energy business is booming, the news about some company failures is just the normal shakeout in a new industry. The days of fossil fuel are numbered.
