Cheap Solar Power Is Here

Nanosolar, of San Jose, CA, reports that they have a production tool with a 1GW/year capacity. That’s a single $1.65M tool which can crank out the equivalent of a nuclear power plant every year. Something tells me they’ll make more than one of these tools.

They plan to supply their wholesale market first, and have cheap solar panels available retail in 2009. I knew (through a very smart friend who has been tracking this because he wants to use it to charge his Tesla) this was coming which, combined with a lack of cash, is the main reason I haven’t gone solar at home yet.

It may be time soon.

I don’t normally cheer for lawsuits

But I hope this plaintiff wins big.

More Muslim Grievance Theater

Debbie Schlussel finds, to nobody’s surprise, that the Hijab Two who were dissed by Obama have worked for pro-terrorist groups.

Note that even though you’d think that Obama is clearly the one they’d rather have win, since he’s the America-hating Marxist (oops, I meant to say Messiah of Change) in the race. That’s as opposed to the America-loving Socialist he’s running against. Anyway, the point is that they’ll go after anybody anytime if they think it suits their jihad.

It’s the very idea that we elect presidents that they’re fighting. Under Sha’ria there will be no voting.
