3. Shortage is shortlived...
http://news.com.com/Solar+panel+shortage+to+continue+through+2006/2100-11395_3-6059579.html

New technologies coming online now are making panels cheaper and more efficient.

So I am not buying that argument. Just as flat panels at one time could not meet the demands of the consumers they are now ubiquitous and cheap. And those are much more difficult to manufacture than solar panels.

As demand rises (which it will) the technology will develop. When you think of it Solar Energy is like a field of gold with a thin film of dirt over it...people are going to get really wealthy as solar will replace oil, coal and gas one day....(that day is sooner that we think possible)
