Technologies like this are going to make the oil sheikhs sorry they tried to sheikh us down.
“”I liked this Nanosolar article posted a day ago. For less than $10,000, I could cover my Arizona roof with this stuff, and be generating over $6K worth of electricity per year. Unlike Al Gore, I don’t use that much, so I could sell it back to the power company.

No! The oil sheiks are cognizant that crude oil represents about 40% of the world’s energy mix and that the demand for oil is still growing They are also aware that it will take 30 to 50 years to replace oil as a primary energy source so they have plenty of time to “soak” us. The fact of the matter is they have us over a barrel and aren’t worried about a bunch of “alternatives” that require lots of oil to build.
In regards to solar panels, make sure that there are ample supplies of the doping agents before you invest in companies that make those things...because there simply is not enough germanium, gallium, and other metals to produce those doping agents.
