Solar Power

Last year, Allen Barnett and colleagues at the University of Delaware, Newark, set a new record with a design that achieved 42.8 per cent energy conversion efficiency. Barnett says 50 per cent efficiency on a commercial scale is now within reach. Such designs, married to modern manufacturing techniques, mean costs are falling fast too.

i think that you chose an excellent topic on a day when oil briefly topped $100.00 per bbl.. i have long wondered when we will truly realize the importance of alternative sources of energy and that we are never going back to the ' good old days ' of cheap fossil fuel.
