    The Future is Here and It is Bright: What Are We Waiting For?
    By Gary Hirschberg

    fossil-fuel-induced stupor. We have known what we should do, but
    we clearly have not done it. And the situation has deteriorated

    spent working in the environmental movement, I am convinced
    that economic self-interest—whether it is achieved by saving,
    earning, or a combination of the two—is the most powerful, if
    not the only, force capable of bringing about the future we need
    in time to make a difference….”

    The solar energy offers a lot of scope and there is a recent report of breakthrough in the manufacture of wafer thin solar display panels which are more energy efficient. Hope more work will be done on that; so that it will be commercialized soon;)

    My country's electricity cost is one of the highest in the world, it would be great if solar energy could be massed produced so we will all have cleaner and cheaper electricity.
