Most Renewable Energy Concepts

A reader responds to my piece “What Will Become of Most Renewable Energy Concepts?” as follows:

I sell energy every day and I would say watch more closely those you scoff at, as once the tax incentives go away so will solar become a side show…unfortunately.  It will require a new energy that defies current thinking and the need for tax incentives. It will not be solar and wind as they are too dependent, I see how businesses make their decisions around these products.

I hear you, but from where I sit I don’t believe you’re correct.  Some of the best arguments are made at EnergyFactCheck.Org.  On top of that, you have the ever-improving technologies, and the ever-growing economies of scale that solar PV and wind energy are experiencing on a day by day basis.  You also have conditions that look like the one pictured above; I have to believe there is a limit to people’s willingness to put up with this.

As I’m sure you know, I join you in the hope for some sort of technology breakthrough that makes all this moot.
