solar roofing shingles, you name it. if you count the wars, the price of oil is much higher than the calculations used to compare, and solar is MUCH cheaper. if you count the damage to the planet, even just cleaning up after oil spills, solar is even cheaper. Remember we are going to pay for the gulf oil spill, and the dead creatures are not coming back.

The talk that solar is too expensive is just talk. 15 years ago, electric cars were outfitted with solar panels, small little panels which easily provided air conditioning for those cars. That was 15 years ago.
