et al.: silver lining in oil price crisis — PV NOW!
By WDavidStephenson | March 14, 2008
If there’s a silver lining in the record oil prices, it’s that photovoltaics are more competitive than ever. Too bad that the only president we’ve ever had who understood energy issues left office in 1981.
Meanwhile, the current seat-warmer still blithers about the economy (”I’m coming to you as an optimistic fellow” he prattled today, which equates to, as the late Kirk Scharfenberg once opined about Carter, [because he was unaware of how we’d really hit bottom when 43 stole the election]: “more mush from the wimp”) when we’re sliding toward a maelstrom the likes of which I suspect we haven’t encountered since October 24, 1929 — witness the Bear Stearns implosion — rather than really doing anything.
PS: you’d better believe that the urgent need to ramp up PV production is a national security matter of the highest order: if Shrub insists on squandering billions a month on Iraq, it’s the one thing we can do to cut our dependence on this volatile area.
