Solar Getting So Cheap It's "Astonishing"

KEN KORCZAK

It increasingly looks like the Solar Age is beginning and our long relationship with fossil fuels may finally be coming to an end.

What's really going to make it happen is money.

A lot of people like the idea of an energy that doesn't create greenhouse gases, acid rain, smog and all the rest -- but the absolutely only thing that will drive large scale change among the public is cost.

If it means more money will stay in their pockets, people will adopt solar on a large scale.

That now seems to be happening. The cost of solar energy is plummeting to rapidly, energy and financial analysts can only on with amazement.

See my article here, and my latest attempt to "shame" my local power cooperative which is still addicted to its coal industry masters.

Local electric co-ops are shills for the coal industry: Change is a must.

KEN KORCZAK:

I'm in a constant state of criticism of my local source of electricity, which is a local power co-op here in northern Minnesota. My beef? They get most of their energy from coal. But worse that that, they actively lobby against and refuse to consider adding clean solar energy to their power supply mix.

When the Minnesota legislature recently enacted a tiny 1.5% solar energy mandate for all utilities in the state, rural electric cooperatives balked, lobbied for an exemption, and got one. It's an outrage. Pollution from coal is warming the planet, and also depositing mercury into Minnesota lakes and showing up in our fish -- and that's just for starters.

These guys need to change -- period. See my story:
