Panic Sale
Over at Jerry Agar's blog my latest entry explores the recent trend, of Americna Retail Outlets rationing rice purchases.

"Smart? These guys also have a private Boeing 767 to get them back and forth to work. They might know computers, but they're not really good at budgeting. Solar electricity is economically unfeasible. That's why nobody is jumping on board."
"Not good at budgeting? Bloomberg built a multi-billion dollar financial empire so I think these fellows have some financial acumen. Also, last time I checked, the cost of climate change was estimated to reach up to 20 trillion dollars globally. Those costs aren't currently added to the cost of coal powered electricity, but we'll wind up paying them down the road."
"One of the biggest problems with Solar Energy is, that it takes a HUGE amount of energy to manufacture the cells. There is evidence that a Solar Cell will never return the energy it takes to manufacture one. They're great for bringing electricity to remote locations, but relatively useless a substitute for traditional energy sources."
From your link:
"telluride modules would have to convert electricity with 14 percent efficiency, and systems would have to be installed at $1.20 per watt of capacity. Current modules have 10 percent efficiency and an installed system cost of about $4 per watt."

So let me get this straight; the plan you are citing used completely fictional numbers, with a forty percent inflation of efficiency, and a seventy percent deflation of cost.
And you cited this as proof of feasibility?
You also misread the link you provided to support your speculation that the damage inflicted by global warming would be 20 trillion. 20 trillion is actually the cost of compliance. Which means that replacing fossil fuels with alternative energy is going to cost the economy 20 trillion dollars. My point is proven."
