I wish them luck, but I doubt their claims.

Nanosolar has developed a way to make these cells using a printing technology similar to the kind used to print newspapers...

Wait a minute, maybe there's hope for the MSM after all. They can publish solar cells.

"I wish them luck, but I doubt their claims."

Which of their claims do you doubt?

I remember being a 12 year old boy, taking apart selenium rectifiers from radios and connecting them in series to create a solar cell, long before silicon solar cells appeared.

The technology they're using is scientifically sound, and the new technique for creating the photovoltaic surface sounds promising.

I wouldn't discount this company at all.

Solar power will never work on a large scale. CA might as well suck it up and start building nuclear power plants.

The benefits would be enormous so let's hope they can do it.
