It would have paid every energy bill in the U.S.A. for maintenance fees only - FOREVER! It would be equivalent to an oil field that can NEVER run dry! Low cost electric power, and storeable hydrogen gasoline replacement from the electricity, for all! After the millions of murders, and $650 billions of dollars, borrowed from our children’s futures and pissed away, with thousands of our own and others maimed and disfigured for life, millions of families utterly destroyed, ours and theirs, we are no closer to Iraqi oil production than the Iraqis are! The next time you hear a blithering idiot spoiled brat, drunken, drug addicted, sociopath, rich Arabic saber dancing daddie’s boy oilman, stand at a microphone and threaten YOUR safety with someone ELSE’S weapons, remember what you lost America, remember, and weep! (also see http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=a-solar-grand-plan) Make Love not war, condoms not bullets, "the pill" not Prozac! and eat less beef!

How are Solar Schools better equipped for recession? Some obvious anecdotal things come to mind, but hard evidence would be very much appreciated.

It's a practical way to divert money from energy costs and to educational materials. Many colleges and universities use solar partially, and there's a good reason why. Definitely makes sense.

This is already starting to get traction in California by developers who are installing solar roofs. Of course, solar doesn't work everywhere. We'll need to be able to convert Cradle to Cradle type products into energy through clean combustion of some sort... it's good the students get a taste of this at this age though- welcome to the Thunderdome anyone?
