Hi Horace, You're right but what would be the right message? Regarding your EnergyCosts.pdf I noticed you focused on capital cost in USD/W, following most authors. It seems to me a more meaningful although probably more difficult to evaluate figure would be the actual bottom line energy cost

All the talk about nanosolar and other so-called 'cheaper' cells, may be closer to wishful-thinking than to reality. Presently, and contrary to what is often mentioned in the science press, the *installed* cost of solar cells for homeowners is going up, not down in 2007. I absolutely dispute

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Niigata, Japan today. The epicenter was in the Sea of Japan (which I think the Koreans call the Sea of Korea). The earthquake damaged the Kashiwazaki nuclear power plant facility. The nuclear reactor shut down automatically, but the damage caused a fire
