Investing in solar & renewables. Would you pay for energy, when you can get the same energy for free? Solar panels prices keep falling fast, as productions gets larger and larger. This is good, and exactly the course we want solar to go in. We want solar to be cheaper than nukes. Solar & nukes are now at parity, when you factor in all costs, expenses and pollution. Next year solar will cost less than any other form of energy. Plus, this makes solar the most available to farmers and homeowners to use to generate income and jobs. Some call this a "collapse" of solar, but it is not. It is the predicted path solar would and should take to overtake all other forms of energy. At the same time oil & all conventional fuel prices keep climbing higher. A tale of 2 trails. Solar's growth is now heading in 2 directions at once. Homeowners are demanding they be paid $0.49 kwh for feeding surplus solar onto the grid. Home based solar farms are far more efficient, because they deliver the energy to the local homes. During a quake or other emergency, local solar is still available, even when the grid goes down. Best of all, in cities that have a solar feed-in tariff policy (FiT), generate more jobs in home building, panel installations, and related jobs, that build a stronger jobs market than corporate solar farms. This in turn generates more cash flow for the local economy, because solar farmers are actually turning solar energy into income, cash flow for the whole community. Solar is now becoming gold. Never before in history has solar become cash. This is historical. Corporations are trying to stop this decentralized move to turn solar into cash for home owners using the FiT. The corporations are attempting to stop this rapid growth of decentralized solar by homeowners, by building larger centralized solar farms on the deserts. There are 3 big reasons why huge corporate solar farms will not fly. First, the amount of energy lost in transmission, due to wire resistance, is so great, such corporate solar farms can never make a profit. Second, the money will flow just to the corporate 1%. Homeowners can easily defeat this grab by the corporate 1%, simply by passing a solar feed-in tariff policy in their city. The majority, the home owners, will win this contest. The price of solar panels will continue to fall every month for the next 10 years. This will drive the demand for solar by home owner and farmers up. Eventually, the demand by the 99% for solar will trump the corporate drive for giant solar farms. Do the math. There is no way 1 large solar farm, that makes enough energy for 100,000 homes, will ever be able to con the 100,000 home owners into buying energy from the corporate farm, when they can get the same energy for free, plus be able to sell solar energy for $500. a month onto the grid. Would you pay for energy, when you can get the same energy for free? GE announced in 2011 that it's going to build the largest solar plant in America, capable of powering 80,000 homes each year. The media tries to confuse investors as to who will win this battle: homeowners & small farmers, or huge corporate investors?? It is no contest. Who would you bet on 100,000 home owners who want free solar energy and an income from solar, and so jobs from solar, or one big oil company that wants to force the same 100,000 homeowners to buy solar energy from the oil corporations. Homeowners are not that stupid.
