Are you saying that George Dubya was right to stop research funding for an obvious source of power for the future?

I'm guessing for the time being there's more of a market elsewhere for solar because A) energy costs are even higher than here, and B) delivery systems to the heart of the Amazon, China, etc haven't been created yet.  
As US costs rise, so will the interest in alternatives.  Even my 60-year old mother-in-law mentioned an interest in solar panels the other day.  My 75-yr old father-in-law heard about some Lottery winner that invested some of winnings in a solar grid that's powering some of his neighbors, and he's getting paid to do it.  I met with a builder, and he brought it up too.  So people not normally paying attention are starting to pay attention. And that's a good thing.
