Furthermore, you bitch about oil companies and their conspiracies against clean and renewable energy and then use a project as an example of solar greatness and its future, which was funded and owned by BP. Yay BP! Good for them for leading the way with a minor tax write off and new talking point for their "environmental responsibility".

First off all I didn't bitch about conspiracies, I provided case studies that are on record as actual fact. Which was the Tucker car and the guy whom invented the windshield wiper. Their court cases are public record not conspiracy.
Also on the cost of solar.. Is not much more than coal. The average cost of coal on the system level is 95.6 however if they used the clean coal technology the cost increases by a lot.
Meanwhile solar is 130 at the system level and it's dropping fast. This is why companies see it as a smart investment now and are building solar farms and not coal plants.
The price of coal is increasing meanwhile the price of solar is dropping. Sometime between 2020 and 2030 solar will be the most cost effective power creation method. Cheaper than coal, natural gas and nuclear.
This is why Cali for example is building 14 new solar farms at the moment. This why other states are doing it as well. Not everyone is so short sighted that they can't see 10 years into the future and understand where prices will be. It's a good thing everyone isn't as smart as you are or we would still be burning wood to create steam power...
