Great news. Hopefully, one day soon, solar panels will become common place. I'll be looking into installing them when they become feasible.

It is true solar electricity is still expensive. There is something on the market that it so affordable, it pays for itself in five years. That is solar heating. What we need are tax credits that allow everyone, including low-income, to buy them.

I have been following the solar industry for years. We have seen dramatic breakthroughs recently. Remember, we're talking quantum mechanics here, so even producing electricty at all is a miracle.

What we need are the wealthy purchasing solar electricity to stimulate the market.
