Michael reported NYT article http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/16/business/16solar.html?_r=1&th=&emc=th&pagewanted=all quoting...
"There is plenty of intellectual firepower in the U.S.," said Prashant V. Kamat, an expert in the chemistry of solar cells at the University of Notre Dame, who has some Energy Department financing. "But there is limited encouragement to take up the challenge."
The article covers a wide area of energy themes. The world is become an energy "glutton". Little emphasis is given on reducing use of energy. The drunks at the Dime Box saloon have little interest in the subject until the store runs outa beer. Then all hell breaks loose. That's "firepower"., not very encouraging.
