Old news about solar but maybe some do not know….

[PKMAN]

I agree with ibjames. I don’t think solar panel looks cool. In fact, I think it’s quite ugly and out of sync with the overall flow of a house. However I’ve always respected those willing to disrupt the look of their home in order to be green.

Even with government’s support, I believe the cost needs to come down by at least another 20% before it’s a worthy investment for average Joe like me. Looking at the technology trend, we should only need to wait about 2 more years before that price point will be reached.

[quote=Russell]Solar will be more popular when government, industry and unions, figure out how to control/divide the advantage.Don’t despair greenies,solar will be more popular when the parties get this ironed out. It will be mandatory then. Trouble is the energy and resources spent in the getting money to pay for it, by the consumer, will crush energy benefits and vaporize natural resources beyond the benefit of the panels.

Solar energy, electric cars etc will not practical until we develop high temperture superconducting materials.

We are about 20-30 years away from being able to do that.

Hello John,

Well, I didn’t say my reasons for delays in a preponderance of use were the only valid ones!
