Good news, but I've liked it even better if the plants were being built in the US, which might have been if Bush weren't Bush. I recommend AMAT's solar page, and if you ever get a chance to hear Charile Gay talk, do it: http://www.appliedmaterials.com/news/solar_strategy.html 2) And fortunately, some of us get to hear Nobel Physicists talk about climate and energy at little local town meetings (30 people) where we can ask questions. I *strongly* recommend, although it's a few years' old now & a few things are out of date: http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/do/brichter/presentations/2004_10_05.htm BTW: Al Gore's AIT talk is isomorphic to the first third of this. When I heard him, Richter mentioned denialists with disgust, and of course knew many of the early ones personally. Unfortunately, Bush either doesn't get to do this, or doesn't listen. 1) http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/ sanjose/ stories/ 2008/ 03/ 03/ daily25.html talks of Applied Materials $1.9B deal with Chinese for equipment to make solar panels in plants there.
