Okay, solar power is still not cheaper than coal fired power plants, but this report from Bloomberg is very encouraging because it shows how fast things can change for the better (environmentally) if the economics are there. From the title link:
"The cost of solar energy in India declined by 28 percent since December 2010, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The cause was a 51 percent drop in panel prices last year as the world’s 10 largest manufacturers, led by China’s Suntech Power Holdings Co. (STP), doubled output capacity."
