PV may not be energy dense but it is reliable, low maintenance, requires zero energy inputs, operates remotely or on the grid, to name just a few benefits. To dismiss it as not feasible only based on an energy ratio misses the larger point. PV has good applications just as hydro and wind do as well. None of them work everywhere but our current electricity sources (coal, nukes, natural gas) don't really work anywhere in the long run.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ChicagoRenewableEnergy.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576979797522482241noreply@blogger.com
