yes it is a difficult concept....

also think of this project as an alternative to standard solar cell

each time you get competition you get lower prices so more competition means cheaper cells of any type.

myself I don't think of as a GREEN person... but I do my best i can for a lazy person.. i get efficient lighting, i recycle, I plan my trips to maximize use out of every mile i spend on gas. Personally I do not have solar cells in use at my place (yet) but being we get an average of 3 effective full solar hours per day up here (near Seattle wa) it is not optimum to put them up (yet)

with gas prices in the $4 usd/gal right now it makes alternative energy's of any sort more efficient per dollar.

remember Big government is being focused on the BIG lobbyists and such... and an easier way to reduce climate change and smog and ect is to make cheaper energy in any way possible.... this is one way.

Haha, not quite sure this will be the solution to the global energy crisis - but hey, who knows

Haha, speaking from personal experience I can say that you are at least more aerodynamic ;).

Thanks for this interesting fact sheet, SekeRob. We'll repost it on our facebook page.
