About this title

Synopsis

For decades, solar proponents have predicted that we would soon get 20% to 100% of our energy from solar sources — biomass, hydro, wind, solar-thermal, photovoltaics and others.

The dreamy-eyed predictions all failed because they were based on emotional urges and political agendas rather than honest assessments. The gurus were numerous, but solar energy is a topic of science, where votes don’t count, even when they come from high-profile lawyers, political appointees, and leaders of environmental organizations.
