Solar industry growth

Indeed on top of the number of issues relating to the growth of the solar industry is the credit markets the impact of the banking institutions not providing vision within the markets. Some suggest the Federal government to develop a Green Bank and Green Bonds to off-set these problems for the commercial and housing markets to be granted zero to low interested loans & incentive for the solar industry to compete within the Market. This is no different for other industries which has enjoyed these processes for years naming few Cable Telecommunication Industries , Oil industries, Pharmaceutical industry and etc.

The financial markets are not providing leadership on Solar. We need a different way to approach financing the growth of Solar.

We should look at Solar and other alternative energy programs, particularly bio-fuels as a Defense Program (they don't have to make money, their goal is to provide the means to deter or, if necessary, to vanquish those who would do us evil). What better way to disengage from the Middle East (to some extent: it's probably impossible to completely de-couple) than to develop, at whatever cost, other sources to fill our needs?

I think $0.50/kW would be a bargain in exchange for that privilege of being able to tell the Middle East to go water their crops with their petroleum. Then, the next time some country in the Middle East takes a poke at us, we can go there without having to be there to help after we get done (of course, the best part of that scenario is that it would not happen, because there would not be any reason for it).
