Re: Jordanian pilot burned alive by terrorist

Solar is quickly becoming viable. The efficiency rate is climbing and the prices are holding or going down slightly. We supply air conditioners to a lot of the electrical cabinets used on these sites and there are a lot of them going up. A 2 square mile facility (not sure how much of that is actual panels) was just put online a month ago near Phoenix. A square mile is pretty freaking huge. It produces 125MW or enough for 20,500 homes.

Solar is great for the southern US, but obviously not as good up here. Wind and nuclear will probably be the backbone here. There is another huge solar project near phoenix that uses the sun to heat up a salt liquid that can continue producing power all night. I don't know as much about that one.

I agree with Brandon, there isn't one solution here, but a good healthy mix of several different sources.
