Last time I counted, there were 16 companies with four or five distinct technologies promising solar cheaper than coal. A real diversity of approaches; goop sprayed on plastic, wires printed on metal, yard-wide inflatable bubble-mirrors. The front runners, NanoSolar and Konarka have hundreds of millions of dollars of smart Silicon Valley money and are poaching manufacturing talent from places like IBM. They are cheap, too, these new panels. No retail yet, but manufacturing costs are estimated at 1/6 to 1/20 of conventional solar costs."],"Page language":["en"],"Page license":["CC-BY-SA-3.0"],"Page parent":["The Future We Deserve"],"Page root":["The Future We Deserve"],"Page title":["The Future We Deserve/Our Future and the Sun - Vinay Gupta"],"Page views":[47],"Page year":["Friday, 01-Jan-10 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Wednesday, 17-Dec-25 17:58:24 UTC"]}
