It is hard to believe that one of the world's largest builders of solar collectors is going bankrupt in China, and PV STILL costs nearly a dollar a
watt in this chaotic country! (US) I do not assume that normal market forces are at play here. The Chinese may have been undercut in some dark way by
the forces of anti-communism. Folks who expect at any moment to be raptured off the face of the earth can't be expected to put much emphasis on
developing energy sources for a future they delusionally believe will not come. The tea party continues as peak oil adds its weight to global holy
war.
A little solar farm in the desert gives me hope for the survival of the most "adequately fit" as an old human anat./phys. prof. often said.
