It's just a matter of time before the technology gets cheaper and better. The more it's used and the more demand there is for it the more competitive the prices will be and the more research will go into improving it. It's exciting to see political and economic forces pushing renewable energy forward. Coal's cheaper on it's face, but it's difficult to assign the cost of the total impact of burning *anything*. Just like it's tough to tell how much damage is caused by producing some of the more exotic technologies and materials used for renewables. It's heading the right direction, we just need to try to get there before China's coal plants start impacting the air quality (more than it already is) globally.
