I think solar is a joke.
Ignore the chemical and energy costs of making solar cells.
Just consider the well-documented fact that to power California alone using solar power would require ~150 square miles of solar cells.
That is 4,818,760,000 square feet, or 388,507,665 square meters. At $0.01 per square centimeter, the cost would be $38,850,766,500.00.

Tell the truth!
This is a classic case of "symbolism over substance." Amen.
Are the diplomats are going to kill a billion people to achieve this goal?
I don't recall anyone saying that the European Union could not use as much wind and solar energy as they desired.
They'll abort them. I read that the feminazi's tried to slip in their abortion agenda but were thwarted this time.
A key to this was developing countries speaking up and saying that they want free trade, more efficient agriculture, and a modern energy infrastructure. Americans can be proud that our representatives were there to stand up to the econazis and other elements of the poverty lobby, the hypocrites who want to keep the little brown people in their mud huts and save them from the horrors of "overconsumption".
World Leaders Throw Their Weight Behind Push to Fight Environment, Preserve Poverty
Well after dining on lobster and prime rib they probably have considerable weight to throw around. :)
Maybe they count fighting their way through the Johannasberg slums to the oppulance of the resort hosting this sham conference.
I guess there idea of preserving the environment is adding tons of garbage and litter to those same slums to deal with.
The debachery and hypocracy of this conference is only lost on these losers and the fools that follow them. The rest of the World sees it as a farce of epic proportions.
