Just a passing thought on the notion that the failure of Solyndra, Fisker, and a few other startups means that PV, wind, and EVs are failures. Anybody remember DEC, Apollo, CDC, Commodore, and all those other defunct computer companies? Guess that means computers are a total failure, eh? Better give up and go back to mechanical adding machines, don't you think?

On the automotive side, anybody remember AMC, Delorean, Studebaker, Packard, Hudson, Auburn, Dusenberg, and all the other failed automakers? Guess we'd all better go back to riding horses, 'cause obviously the automobile is a total failure.
