This presentation will reveal the reality of technology and economics in the solar photovoltaic industry and how incredibly misdirected the billions of dollars in government subsidies are, to the detriment of the solar technologies and other solutions that could actually make a difference (hint: they’re not the panels you helped your neighbor pay for to put on their roof). The talk will include an overview of some of the realistic solutions, how special interests have hijacked sustainability, and how the media has dropped the ball, contributing to the ongoing deception of environmentalists and the public at large.
