Talk fests are pleasant, especially as a way of relieving the anxiety we all feel about the dire trouble we are in. But their effect is usually to increase the resource consumption of everyone who goes, which is the precise opposite of the only cure for our ills. We're still going backwards, only faster.

Wildcat, you said: 'I'll be more than glad to invest in these new solar cells..'

But the thing is you can't, and nor can I. You'll notice that on their website it says:

'Nanosolar is a privately held company with financial backing from an elite group of private technology investors..'
and
'Nanosolar is presently not accepting new capital.'

So, for now at least, they are making sure they can't be bought out.
By the way, allow me to correct myself for saying 'a $100 million' facility. That amount is of course the total of the investment capital rather than the amount spent on the facility. Either way though, it's still big business.

Regarding a 10-year 'Clean Energy' forecast:
