Will 2010 be the Year for Solar Power?
Over the past few weeks, renewable energy sources particularly solar have been making headlines across the country. Just this week the Wall Street Journal published a special energy section, The Long Road to an Alternative-Energy Future, dealing with various renewable energy projects, the power they generate and why it will take a long time to develop these projects.
Whatever the roadblocks in a project may be, solar, in particular, is projected to be a slow growth power source. Basically, the article states that solar carries a higher rate per installation than other sources. However, new concentrating solar plants and solar thermal technology are beginning to generate more interest. With more utilities taking a look at solar and the options available, does this mean the sun will shine on large-scale solar power production in 2010?
