Solar Power

A good look at various factors affected by the growth of utility scale solar energy, particularly in the context of biodiversity/ecosystem effects and lifecycle assessment, especially as applied to thin film vs. crystalline silicon technologies. Also provides a good synopsis of ARRA investments in solar and a more macro view of the global PV market in the past decade or so. Overall, very interesting and informative. I do wish there was more about distributed and rooftop solar and grid/transmission/distribution. (And at least in the edition I read, there was an unacceptable number of copy and other editing errors.)
