Personally, I believe solar power will be the power source for the generations to follow mine. Sunlight is nearly unlimited, free, and world wide, and the only thing required for its commercial success is making it an efficient producer of electricity.
That day will come, but only in the years to come. History shows an accelerating pace of development. Some guys like Ray Kurzweil are predicting solar dominance of the market within 20 years, and that seems reasonable for a few reasons. More people then ever before are entering the world market place, and more minds working on more problems with the aim of creating a profit can only mean good things for the consumers.
Even better, those minds will not be working solely on energy developments, but a vast array of advancements in the all encompassing marketplace, each with spin off benefits to industries and inventions along side it.
So if/when solar power becomes efficient enough to compete with the traditional sources of energy production, there will be a revolution nearly unfathomable throughout the world. Automobiles, telecommunication nodes, household production, aviation, and basketball manufacturing, all radically changed.
I don't say it enough, but the future is awesome.
But today, can we stop shoveling my heisted tax dollars into this?

Solar energy powers Superman.
Thus, I approve of this source, as it has been a proven ally of Truth, Justice, and the American way.
As long as its a yellow sun, I'm up for that!
