I am going to be sending you a few posts to insure that you don’t get complacent about the climate. It is changing dramatically and fast and costing hundreds of billions of $$$$$$$ not to mention the human suffering. Usually I highlight the most salient parts but it will take you only about a minute to read the whole thing.…
The following article is kind of long and detailed about how a plant that will be producing state of the art silicon wafers for solar photovoltaic cells and create 1000 workers in upstate New York is now going to built overseas due to financing guarantees from the Department of Energy falling through.

Oil companies, and their surrogates in Congress, and now, the White House, just can’t help themselves. They have to rape and destroy every and any spectacular landscape on the planet… in the name of short term profits. In a world that is quickly moving…
In case you need a reminder of how fast things are changing in the energy markets here’s another article projecting the future success of solar energy. I hope you’ve noticed a continuing theme that prices continue to fall faster than predicted and adaptation progresses at a growing pace beyond what anyone is willing to stick their neck out and project. …
I’ve run into several of you recently and heard the comment that I haven’t written an article in some time. Actually, it’s been almost two months. It’s not for a lack of material. Just been busy.
