Below are some top solar power stories (other than our own) from the past week or so. Enjoy!
Note: following this post, I’m actually going to streamline this news roundup process by sharing daily Solar Energy News Roundups only in this Google Doc (rather than doing so there and on this CleanTechnica page). Also, I’m not going to share our CleanTechnica stories in that doc, so be sure to check in on CleanTechnica for the top cleantech stories of the day. 😀

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it!! So, we've decided to completely nix paywalls here at CleanTechnica. But...
Like other media companies, we need reader support! If you support us, please chip in a bit monthly to help our team write, edit, and publish 15 cleantech stories a day!

When talking about externalities you have underestimated the potential true costs. According to some scientists, who are looking closely at what climate change/global warming is likely to lead to, the true cost will be the extinction of mankind along with most other life on the planet. If that turns out to be accurate, how much then will be able to estimate the KWH cost of coal? How much a gallon for gasoline? If you doubt the possibility of extinction research this:

Good point. This is also a story that always comes to mind: http://planetsave.com/2010/05/05/future-temperatures-could-exceed-human-liveability/
Zach,
Interesting article. It talks about the very issue that I’m concerned about. Methane has started venting in earnest from the permafrost and oceanic methane hydrates and being much more powerful a GHG than CO2 it promises to send warming exponential. The ocean phytoplankton, which are already showing signs of stress, will be gone long before the “wet bulb” temperatures are achieved. It’s just moving the timeline up more than anticipated even a few short years ago.

Ed
