FREMONT (CBS 5 / AP) - President Barack Obama tours Solyndra, Inc. in Fremont Wednesday, a solar panel manufacturing facility, with Executive Vice President, Operations and Engineering Ben Bierman (R) and Chief Executive Officer Chris Gronet.
President Barack Obama pointed to the Gulf oil spill disaster as another reason for Americans to move toward alternative energy resources during a visit to a solar energy plant in Fremont Wednesday.
Speaking at the Solyndra plant, the President hailed the company advances in photovoltaic cell technology. Solyndra is building a new factory that will produce solar panels, using federal stimulus funds.
...
At the Solyndra plant, the president reaffirmed his earlier assertions that the spill only reinforces the need to find alternatives to oil.

Wanna bet this is how he will bill for the AF1 trip to Ca which really was a political speech for Boxer. Gee, I had to go to Fremont to give a few atta boys out and while I was there I stopped by at a social for Boxer.

Not much solar energy today. Very overcast and possibility of rain. Rained 5/25 and might rain again. What to do when no Sun?

Electricity (wholesale) costs:

- Wind = $0.20/KWh
- Fossil = $0.10/KWh
