What we need is the resolve of those in government to realize that this is but a temporary reprieve, and that we need to dampen the shock of the next rise by moving forward with the installation of as much alternative infrastructure as possible.

The simple answer is similiar in nature to the price of oil. Artificial bubbleness. In the case of oil, it was largely the hedgefunds speculation and selling back and forth that pushed up the price.

In the case of solar, waaaaayyyy overbought at the beginning of the year and at the time it was a trend. I couldn’t believe the absurd values being placed on the solar stocks.

With the crash of the overall economy, fuel to the inevitable fire was set in motion. The big money (hedge and mutual funds) cut and run.

That’s the problem now. The big money is on the sidelines leaving the playing field in disarray because of the lack of volume to stabilize it.

Like I said, this is the simple answer.

Hopefully O doesn’t stick it to the corpos. Not now. That would present a problem imho.

BTW, I really enjoy your website. I’m a project manager for a construction company in the Portland OR metro area and we do a small (and getting larger) percentage of LEED projects. I’m excited about the evolution of solar, wind, and fuel technologies.

We’re having an estimate done in a few weeks, and will try to find a way to get panels up for water/heating in 09. It’s odd that I keep hearing that financing is dried up, but Chase (who now owns our WAMU-originated mortgage) sends us home equity loan letters almost weekly.

So somebody out there wants to make a loan, and I’d have to think solar installations look like a better bet for a bank holding a mortgage than relatively-useless granite fixtures for a kitchen.

But what Obama actually does moving forward is certainly critically important.

Who knows how much Obama is going to be able to get done. Or even how hard he is willing to fight for it. This is another issue. Clean coal is another pink elephant for Obama, he’s mentioned it in speeches before and who knows how much money he is planning to invest in false clean energy.
