Solar Industry Strong Regardless Solyndra Death

As we have been reading recently, the solar company Solyndra filed for bankruptcy, which media reports have depicted as the end of solar power in the U.S. This is B.S.
It’s like saying the internet died because my first explorer Netscape went out of business.
The amazing irony of it all is that Solyndra was the victim of a big success – the price of solar power has fallen rapidly, making more expensive technologies like theirs uncompetitive, but more importantly making solar power a real player in the U.S. energy economy.
