What's this all about

Ok- So I want to learn more about renewable energy sources- what's the theory, how that translates into reality - and I wanted a place to save my notes and links to articles. So here it is. No idea the best way of organizing at the moment- I guess I'll figure that out as it happens...

a few notes on solar prices

A residential solar energy system typically costs about $8-10 per Watt. Where government incentive programs exist, together with lower prices secured through volume purchases, installed costs as low as $3-4 watt - or some 10-12 cents per kilowatt hour can be achieved. Without incentive programs, solar energy costs (in an average sunny climate) range between 22-40 cents/kWh for very large PV systems.
