    And they know the oil will run out sooner or later.

    you got that right. i wonder what they will do for the off daylight hours though as solar is very dependent on the time of day/year. i'm wondering will they try to come up with some sort of mass storage for the solar power or just reserve some of their own oil to run generators during those off periods? as you said, it will still run out.

    US probably won,t need it if the anti frackers don,t stop us. We have more oil in Pa than there is in saudia arabia and can supply our country. :Dsolarvic:D
