The U.S. solar market grew to a $6 billion industry in 2010, up 67% from $3.6 billion in 2009.

and subtracting billions in government subsidies we have....?

“and subtracting billions in government subsidies we have....?”

Nothing. Even those “buying” solar get about half back in tax rebates.

You beat me to it. GWB has some responsibility in getting these subsidies going. But like you say above, it is costing us $7 billion per year to keep a $6 billion a year industry afloat.

Economic brilliance at work here.

Exactly. If it weren't for circular reasoning, democrats would have nothing.

I can quantify that request with three words...zip, zero, nada.

Mind if I just call you DORK for short. Dork, listen up and listen good. Wind and solar amount to practically nothing in the overall picture of our needs. You socialist leftists idealogs can’t face the REALITY that your dream AGW/IPCC CO2 hoax has collasped and continue to try and make energy policy based on that wishful thinking while ignoring our real needs. It ain’t gonna happen for 50 to 100 years down the road. Mean while we suffer from bad energy policy from a bad president and his appointees.
