Do Photos of Sexy Girls Help Sell Renewable Energy?

The other day a reader asked me about my use of photography on this blog. I responded that I usually spend at least a minute or two looking around before I make a selection—on the basis that a good photo might encourage people to read the post, and perhaps to pass it on to friends. Even more importantly, it often helps me communicate my point.

On a search for a shot of solar PV earlier today I came across this—the gratuitous sexy girl selling whatever it happens to be today, in this case, a solar panel. I guess the thinking is: if it works for beer and auto parts, it will work for renewable energy too.
