| 23. Actually, for solar power |
|
there's a separate bit of problem. A good problem. Part of the reason that Solyndra went bankrupt is that they mis-estimated the revenue they could get from solar power. They expected X amount of dollar per Kwh generated. But the power from solar was getting cheaper and cheaper and so the amount of power generated did not produce enough revenue and that's why Solyndra went bankrupt. That's a good problem to have because it makes solar power viable.
The cartoon is still fitting and funny, though.
