    For all of you solar enthusists out there, here's an interesting article I came across (actually, Google came across it for me).

    Talk is cheap, however. I hope to see it on the market, but as always, I won't hold my breath.

    Interesting technology. I do hope they are successful at reducing the cost per watt for the consumer.

    Yeah - even $2-3/watt would be amazing!

    Very cool stuff. Wonder how i could invest in that. One question not answered by the article:

    Can it make a holographic image of Bush with horns float above my house??

    Interesting. But is this a technology that one could patent? Seems like an ingenious way to reflect light, but something that the solar companies could pilfer instead of paying this company. Sort of like TIVO.
