Well there is no part of any industry without _some_ kind of government involvement, but solar has been dropping in price for 50 years, and that spans many different kinds of administrations, some of which were decidedly more or less favorable. Much of it is simply the fact that technology tends towards exponential decline in price as volume goes up, which feeds on itself. Commodities tends to go up as volume goes up, which makes more of an oscillatory effect. Btw I don't dislike the Left, it's most of my friends.
