What will work in terms of bringing the price down with solar is massive government investment for mass production. This is the way the oil-fed economy is kept going. Massive tax breaks and incentives for oil companies. Remember the story widely reported a few years ago that Exxon paid *zero* federal income taxes on billions worth of revenues? If the same thing were done for solar, we'd eliminate our dependence on foreign oil in I'm guessing 10-15 years- To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
