Tom Friedman NYTimes: The most telling element in this entire extended discourse, is of course, Tom Friedman's sudden infatuation with this subject.
That's wrong. Friedman has been promoting and writing about alternative energy for many years, before it was fashionable. He seems to know a lot about the subject, although I get the impression it is "surface" knowledge. He did not mention any of the problems with photovoltaic devices such as the long energy payback time. He did not suggest solar-thermal instead.
