And as I write throughout most of my posts, the economics of wind and solar are improving dramatically moving forward: solar module prices are set to fall 40+% in 2009 and turbines are poised to be sub-$1.50 per watt by early 2010. Financiers will play in whatever markets exist to make a buck. Fortunately, our government is providing policy that promotes efficiency and renewables so that Wall Street can use their math skills to drive a green revolution in global energy. We'll see how it develops- I hear you and thanks for the feedback-

Don't you see that these "financiers" want to steal that "incentive" money from the gullible ratepayers and taxpayers? If renewable energy (other than hydro and a bit of wind) were so great, why do all these "investment projects" require subsidies, ITC, and accelerated depreciation to get to positive IRR? I can't believe people are still falling for this swindle. You crazy? Don’t you see that these “financiers” want to steal that “incentive” money from the gullible ratepayers and taxpayers?
