Uh, Why Is Nobody Talking About This?

A company called Nanosolar has reportedly found a way to build solar cells 100 times thinner, but in 1% of the time. As a result, they’ve supposedly reached the $1/watt threshold that makes solar more viable than coal.
This seems somewhat…major. A couple of other points:
- A top IBM’s executive has joined Nanosolar
- The company has raised raised $100 million already and has orders to keep its 600,000 sq. ft. factory busy for the first year and a half
Seems pretty legit — or at least moreso than the dozen perpetual motion companies that have come out with major press releases over the years. I can’t wait to see how this plays out. I just hope these guys spend some of that investment money on security.
