Conservative heavyweights have solar industry in their sights

LA Times: The political attack ad that ran recently in Arizona had some familiar hallmarks of the genre, including a greedy villain who hogged sweets for himself and made children cry. But the bad guy, in this case, wasn't a fat-cat lobbyist or someone's political opponent. He was a solar-energy consumer. Solar, once almost universally regarded as a virtuous, if perhaps over-hyped, energy alternative, has now grown big enough to have enemies. The Koch brothers, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist...

Forbes: Paul Krugman turns his attention to the impact of declining solar power prices on the prospects for climate change today and while his central fact is entirely correct theres two errors in his argument. His central fact is that the price of solar power has fallen considerably in recent years, to the point that its becoming generally grid comparable in price. However, he then goes on to say that no one really predicted this and then also that we need to make some great effort now to use solar power...

New York Times: Long before the Energy Department lost $68 million on Abound Solar, a manufacturer that went bankrupt two years ago, it should have known that the companys chance of repaying the loan it had guaranteed was deteriorating, according to a report by the departments inspector general. The damning report was issued as the Obama administration prepared to offer as much as $8 billion in additional loan guarantees. The loan guarantee program has been a magnet for criticism since the failure of Solyndra...

Environmentally compatible organic solar cells in the future
2014-04-17 02:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Environmentally compatible production methods for organic solar cells from novel materials are in the focus of "MatHero." The new project coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) aims at making organic photovoltaics competitive to their inorganic counterparts by enhancing the efficiency of organic solar cells, reducing their production costs and increasing their life-time. "Green" processes for materials synthesis and coating play a key role. "MatHero" is funded by the European Commission...
