Agreed, on all counts. (As always, i think :D)

I don’t write about it much, but to be honest, that solar trade war case has me nervous — could cause a whole lot of steps backwards..

Good Heads Up Zach:

Having more people able to install and service solar rigs is going to be an important asset for any “non handy” (or just too busy doing other things) person to have available.

A related problem that “CleanTechnica” post a few days ago [http://cleantechnica.com/2012/01/26/dumping-solar-the-case-for-case-solar-growth-and-chinas-subsidies/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IM-cleantechnica+%28CleanTechnica%29] needs to be resolved in a positive way so that “solar techs” will have enough panels to install.

I just watched “Prophets of Doom” on the History Channel this morning and according to those “experts” the situation is more dire than even I thought. I might take issue with a doom/scare tactic but, having said that, we simply need to “get busy” and ramp up our efforts to re-tool our energy production paradigm. Learning the skills necessary by young people will be critical to success in this endeavor.

Thanks,
