It is only financially rewarding because it was made politically correct
to be an environmentalist.

Perhaps. But with the current record market prices for crude oil, you
can bet photo voltaics will become a lot more popular and attractive
to the general public as solar electricity becomes more competitive
with coal/natural gas/oil. While that won't directly relieve the
financial burden on pilots, in the long run it could reduce our
nation's dependency on petroleum based energy. That's got to be a
good thing for US independence from the whims of foreign nations as
well as being more environmentally friendly.


"next dot-com investment vogue" you may be right but a lot of folks lost
a lot of money when that bubble burst.

Doesn't that usually occur at the end of most of these popular
investment cycles?

Personally, I don't see the demand for energy slacking any time soon,
so I foresee a much longer investment cycle in the solar and wind
power marketplace.
