Solar Power Becoming Cheaper

According to Popular Mechanics, First Solar has dropped their production costs down to $1 per watt.

Unfortunately they'll have to do a fair bit better than that before I can afford to go solar. The last time I checked it would still take me over 30 years for the system to pay for itself. I think they'd have to get that down to 10 years or less before I'd be able to make the change.

I'd love to, though! As Instapundit often says, "Faster Please!"
