That's cool! I wonder how developed this technology will be in 10 years?

[LOAH]

The existing energy companies, I suspect, will spend a great deal in discrediting the solar power industry.

Solar energy presents the public with a platform to be "self sufficient" to their electrical needs.

I love it. Down with the monopolies!!! :twisted:

Nano technology is amazing. That's awesome.

But it is true, a big reason this won't hit us as fast as we like is because big energy companies see their profits going down.

If they're smart and realize the inevitable, they'll invest in this same technology, and we can all have this stuff faster, and nobody's feelings get hurt.

Back in Wichita KS, there's a regulation where the local government will GIVE you the everything you need to install solar panels on your house.

The PR paraphrase:

This will hit us precisely as fast as we like. It may not hit sooner because most of us will wait for the big energy companies to invest before we do.

If we're smart and realize the inevitable, we'll invest in this same technology.
