Solar Power Show on Science Friday

Solar power is an intimidating topic from many, from listening to this presentation I certainly feel like I know more. I hope you will seek out the information yourselves, here or elsewhere. What is disconcerting is that folks don't realize how environmentally damaging the sequestering of the minerals for said solar panels is. However, this article is more about the politics and implementation of large scale solar projects:

"Energy prices remain high, with a barrel of crude oil selling for well over $130. But thousands of megawatts of solar generated power might not see the light of day if Congress doesn't act soon. This hour, Ira and guests look at the battle over the renewable investment tax credit, and why solar industry execs are biting their nails over the legislative snarl."
