You're so myopic.  Maybe if you could see out of the other eye...

LOL - myopic?  Really?  

You think that the oil companies DON'T wield more power than anyone in this country?

Yeah, look in the mirror.  In fact, just look around you and see how much they are into every single aspect of our lives.

From the plastic frame that's around your mirror, to the flooring in your house, to the shingles on your roof.

You may want to rethink who's getting fooled here.

Can you keep on topic?
We're talking about about a gallon of oil vs a solar panel.

Before I sign off and go drink some beers with my buddy in the garage, I'll leave this little post.

In 2016, countries from Chile to the United Arab Emirates broke records with deals to generate electricity from sunshine for less than 3 cents a kilowatt-hour, half the average global cost of coal power.

Since 2009, solar prices are down 62 percent, with every part of the supply chain trimming costs.

- GTM Research expects some parts of the U.S. Southwest approaching $1 a watt today, and may drop as low as 75 cents in 2021, according to its analyst MJ Shiao.

- The U.S. Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Lab expects costs of about $1.20 a watt now declining to $1 by 2020. By 2030, current technology will squeeze out most potential savings, said Donald Chung, a senior project leader.

- The International Energy Agency expects utility-scale generation costs to fall by another 25 percent on average in the next five years.

- The International Renewable Energy Agency anticipates a further drop of 43 percent to 65 percent for solar costs by 2025. That would bring to 84 percent the cumulative decline since 2009.

So you see, our "wonderful" president is in fact, putting us behind the rest of the world.  He (and it seems his followers) are so stupid that they don't realize what a giant part solar power will play in the global market in less than a decade.  Short-sighted and ruled by big oil, the conservatives are being led around by their biggest donors.

Don't say you weren't warned....

Here's the Troll Dodge. Drag it off topic, an argument ensues, run to the Original Topic for cover.
He can't back up his Bullshit.

Which you can't defend.

How lefty of you.
You can't argue your own points, so you pretend it doesn't matter.
Was Iraq wrong?

Try thinking, just once as to WHY it's never gotten any traction until now.  Go rent the movie "Who Killed The Electric Car".

Seriously web - are you that naive that you don't think that big oil runs this country? (that's a rhetorical question).
