Al Gore: Solar On Track To Compete With Coal Soon

  ... "in the most sunny regions such as the Middle East." Not in most parts of the world that actually use coal.

  The press release discusses cost, not capacity. By its nature, solar power isn't suitable to use for base load: it only works during the sunny parts of the day. I would be happy and unsurprised to see solar power reduce the use of clean-burning-but-expensive peak plants. I'm not holding my breath to see it replace the filthy base-load coal.

  Al Gore is obviously an expert. His "science" has been correct so many times before.
