(18,219 posts)could be generated by solar panels in North Africa. I don't have the details or knowledge to know if this is possible. But I do say that the "powers that be" are, in fact, working to subvert solar energy---at least until they can figure out a way to make more profit from it than they can make with the conventional energy sources.
I say that this is what I believe just from looking at the reality. There is no problem with big business supporting government subsidies for conventional energy methods, and that even includes the ill-conceived ethanol program. But just talk about solar power, and these same people are screaming bloody murder over even one dollar in government help to get these companies moving. I just call it like I see it.
