Were Being Scammed

No one is saying we don't need to care about our resources and fight for energy independence...but if the GOVERNMENT is involved....then you know they will make SURE they get a large piece of the pot first.

Why is it so hard to understand that maybe the governments are doing it simply because it's cheaper? Photovoltaic panels are very expensive and still not very efficient, whereas solar thermal power is basically a mirror and a turbine. Point is, you need lots of heat to make it efficient, lots of surface area, that's why it makes no sense to run this in your backyard.

racerfan...IF you say so....lol

oh..and...LMAO @ governments are doing it becuase it's cheaper.

GOV waste is one of the most sickening.

There's only one person you can rely on in the coming years..... guess who? YOU!

Another problem with photovoltaic cells is that they are affected by partial clouding a whole lot more than solar thermal reflectors.

What makes them expensive? They are hard to make. No big conspiracy needed. Why is porcelain more expensive than clay?

Government should control critical industries like energy, medicine, water, etc. Capitalism is too greedy to work in all areas (save it for luxury market). The problem is the Government is controlled by corporations and lobbies so you'd still have energy under their control so there is no way out. Enjoy your stay. Democracy has failed.

And what makes them expensive???  THERE is the key.

You can get solar panels. The problem is they are very expensive and solar thermal is much cheaper. Fresnel reflector arrays are even cheaper than trough design. Look it up.

Epic Fail vid. Fox sucks.
