Alternative Energy Questions:

When / how is solar power going to be cost-competitive with today's common energy sources?

Actually this depends on where you live, and how much electricity you use.
obviously if you live in an area that has a lot of mostly sunny days, the Solar panels are more cost effective than where I live.
where I live we get 80 to 100 inches of rain a year, so we only get about 75 non-rainy or cloudy, or foggy days a year.
also our utility company is a Co=op, so our energy bills are reasonably low.

however if you live in say Ca. either central or southern, with rebates and incentives, you should be able to recoup the cost of you solar panels in 15 years or less.

This site should give you insight into cost and other related benefits.
