DOE Explores a New Frontier In Quest for Cheaper Solar Panels

I love how ambitious the Department of Energy's (DOE) goal is in their "SunShot" program: "...eliminate 75% of the total installation costs for solar energy systems by 2020." That's incredible. There are working with utilities, software providers, and local governments to meet this goal so as to make rooftop solar arrays more affordable for property owners. With the collective brainpower of those entities, I think that this goal can definitely become reality in just nine years.

  1. I think natural gas looks like a bargain here. The price of natural gas is down by as much as 75% over the last 4 years. Theirs an exchange traded note trading under the symbol {GAZ} the note tracks the price of natural gas using futures contracts.
