RP Siegel discussed the long-awaited cost parity of solar power,
. . . at last achieved in countries like
. . . . . . Germany,
. . . . . . China,
. . . . . . India,
. . . . . . Spain and
. . . . . . Italy.

Price reduction: “In 5 yrs, the price of solar in the U.S. has dropped from
. . . $5 per watt to
. . . $.50 per watt” – Arno Harris, Chairman and CEO @ Recurrent Energy

Market size: “Solar is now a $100 B market.” – Lyndon Rive, CEO of Solar City.

Investment in job creation: “Every dollar bill invested in natural gas and
. . . traditional energies is better invested in solar, wind and renewables
. . . there are more jobs created per KW in solar and wind than gas.”
. . . - Michael Brune, Sierra Club.

Solar is expensive. This is not true. In fact, solar electricity in 14 states
. . . is cheaper than conventional energy

People need to start understanding that they can get cheaper and cleaner energy.
