If you listen to some of the arguments in this Wonderfest presentation, the case for cheap high-efficiency solar becomes even more evident. In comparison, the solutions proposed in the presentation (sequestering carbon dioxide and becoming dependent on very high-tech liquid fluoride thorium nuclear reactors) seem somewhat outlandish.

Upon your recommendation, I read Jeff Goodell’s article about Big Coal’s comeback (“After a Strong Counterattack, Big Coal Makes a Comeback”).
I have no knowledge of the facts of the case, nor any opinion about political tactics that could counter such comeback. But if solar is to realize its potential in a significant way, which it should sooner rather than later, I feel it must set its goals such as to improve our lives in a significant rather than incremental way. It has to be disruptive, as were many other factors of historical change in the past.
