Uh, yeah. Let me guess. It should be on the market in five years, just like every other solar technical wonder.
Oh please. If only you knew what was really going on, you'd have trouble breathing. Prices for solar power have dropped so rapidly and so consistently people are calling it "Moore's Law for Solar" [forbes.com]. A quote from the article: Solar modules prices have dropped from $300 per watt in 1956 to $50 per watt in the 1970s to $10 in the 90s to $1.05 a watt today. Just what did you think this should look like?
Approximately half of all the generating capacity last year was from renewable energy sources. [kcet.org] The miracle of having an actually usable smartphone was a pipe dream just 5 years ago. Now, even most poor folks have one.
Today, anybody can afford to board a high speed aircraft and travel at 350 MPH at 40,000 with safety that rivals our living rooms. Think about that. A chair, 40,000 feet in the air, travelling 350 MPH, affordable to nearly everybody, complete with magazines to read, and we mostly complain about the noise.
Sheesh.
