Solar cells dropping in cost, increasing efficiency
by Andy at 1:09 pm EDT, Apr 17, 2003

] Every minute, the sun bombards Earth with enough energy
] to supply its power needs for a year. Yet only two
] one-hundredths of a percent of all the electricity fed
] into the U.S. grid originates from sunlight. The world
] still largely relies on diminishing supplies of
] environmentally unfriendly and politically destabilizing
] fossil fuels. Despite decades of research, it%u2019s
] still cheaper to burn coal than get power from the sun.

I would go 100% solar with storage batteries for the dark times, if I could.
