Hey, look at this photo above… They can barely power your average hair blow dryer 1500 watt or so… If you replace them with plain mirrors, Your hair will be on fire!!! Right? So this solar sector need ALUMINIUM!!!!! Silicoin is way overrated!! Photovoltaics is useful for many applications , that is for sure.. But for your local utility or your rooftops, mirrors is the only way to go. We avoid mirrors because we fear that aluminium prices will soar like copper, nickel, moly, gold , silver … Boeings, Ford Motors, General Electrics of the world depend heavily on ultracheap aluminium to boost profits… or boost pension benefits for their workers.. They dont want another new big player that use aluminium to compete with them.. Guess who loses? YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (knocking on your foreheads) Aluminium is green despite what your favorite enviormentalist tell you… Sure , it requires a lot of electricity to make new aluminium, but once you recycle it, it is gravy all the way ! We cannot recycle enough aluminium to boost solar mirrors, sorry.. Even Ford Motors need more aluminium in the future to make lightweight cars to help meet gas mileage requirements in the future. If aluminium prices goes to $3 from $1 a pound, so what! Just buy aluminium stocks and cash in along the way.. Aluminium is worth $3 in today’s real dollars, anyway… Aluminium prices is artificially depressed in order to shore up the companies above.. If you think photvoltaics will continue to lead the way in solar energy, you are flatly wrong! Photovoltaics will stil be around but solar mirrors will eclipse photovoltaics … This is called solar thermal energy … So many ideas are already developed for solar thermal energy but they are still stuck in laboratories or testing grounds for years and years.. What is holding them up? Guess again,,, !!!! you know the answer, eh? yeah you got it… Our economy cannot recover until we start solar thermal energy in a big way! It is not about feel good green energy, it is about more energy resources we need to grow our economy and hire workers… How hard is it for you to understand it??/ You understand it but you appear to avoid it for selfish reasons… Our economy is sinking , our government is going into default,, your job is safe ?? dont be so cocky about it..

Spain is leading he world in solar installations with Germany and Italy as runner ups .. Altogether, they already install gigawatts and gigawatts … America has yet to install first gigawatt here… Why?? Because gasoline prices are outta sight in Europe! They have no choice but to borrow billons billons to do that.. America has to wait till gasoline prices hit $6-8 a gallon before we begin to install photovoltaics… in a big way.. My question is DO YOU WANT $6 OR $8 GASOLINE AND EXXON MOBIL MAKING $500 BILLON IN PROFITS?? If you do , FINE WITH ME! Remember that your real estate values will keep sinking, your government budget getting cut again and again!! your car getting repossessed… Republicans can not get more delighted with it… They will say that our government is still not getting smaller enough… They will continue to roll over your minicar in their PickUps and SUVs… Look listen greeny ears… aluminium is for you! like it or leave it… or wait till you are certain for some flimsy reasons before you start to embrace solar thermal energy .. sure be my guest… aluminium is the answer to your tears!!!
