“We just need to keep this technology to ourselves and only export it. We need other countries to be dependent on us for something besides cynical humor.”

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Not sharing a breakthrough in green technology? So you’d rather the rest of the world continue to pollute and deplete natural resources?

Depending on cost, 8 months might not be so bad depending on their output. If the cost of the panels is countered by the amount someone might save on their electric bill, the only thing to worry about is where to recycle them. I’m sure the government would even offer tax credits for purchasing them. Anything and everything that might help us curb our energy crisis is something. We just need to keep this technology to ourselves and only export it. We need other countries to be dependent on us for something besides cynical humor.
Eventually it won’t matter whether or not the house or the senate stand behind any of this. It will all be in the hands of private organizations and will get done with or without them. However, I would like to point out that the Obama administration did give over 2 billion for fuel cell R&D last August. In comparison to the other spending, it’s still pretty marginal, but at least it’s something.

Very custom and an impressive development. Perhaps would open new markets — but hopefully not disposable solar power.

Hello every one, the more information about solar power I study the more I am interested in. In my perspective, all the difficult abysses are costing down the price, otherwise, as a normal people, could not be able to afford the Luxurious expense~

Could anyone suggest me where to study and do the research for my graduate school which is famous for their solar panel studies? I am now a college student who have desperation to the eco-energy study in Taiwan.

“The plastic solar cells have now an operating life of 8 months instead of mere hours.”

Going from a product with a ten hour life to a product with an 8 month life is a big jump, but it is still useless. I would hate to have to throw away my old panels every 8 months and buy new ones.

I would like to learn more about this plastic dollar cell. When will it become available for production, etc.

I help individuals when they are in need locate funding. Please keep my contact info handy for future reference.

Thank you

I think it’s a sign someone is on the right track. Life has already perfected the solar panel. If we just copy life in all things (to the best of our abilities) we’ll wind up with something safe and useful.

It all sounds good. We are always on the verge of a breakthrough. Please make it happen before the oil system collapses.

Not surprising in time this is the way the World has gone after the way to get away from oil. When is the United States going to stop giving away the Americans right to stop oil,or more importantly allow our Country not to give Iran and Saudi Arabia who has made alternatives a priority my money and if this really creates jobs both Parties should be careful if they wish to stay in office. There raise is your and my vote. Look out. You maybe out. Energy bill back burner again? Please you all need to be excused. ALL You have a Job to Do no one goes home no one. We have spent billions on Hydrogen so people it is cleaner than Electric. I still say EveryGas.com Lets make it happen.

If this solar cells are sold in the market very soon many people are going to have solar cell trees in their backyards giving enough energy to charge theirs plug-in hybrid vehicles.
