Evergreen Solar


This is an interesting article:

Review & Outlook, 2011. Solar power eclipse. The Wall Street Journal, Jan. 18.

As folks know, this is close to home in many ways. The WSJ writes a detailed article on this subject. It is powerful.

It is hard to pick winners in industry. To some, this looked like a sure thing.

What is the future of solar energy in the US?

It is stories like these that make me like the risk profile of Eden's Bowl, Inc., which is reasonable (at least I hope so). I have been working on the idea with a colleague from Harvard and MIT. There is much more work to do.

This is something to contemplate:


My colleague and friend, Stuart Allen, passed along to me this wonderful quote from Hume:

“…the principles of commerce are much more complicated, and require long experience and deep reflection to be well understood in any state. The real consequence of a law or practice is ... often contrary to first appearances."

Hume, David (1778), The History of England, Indianapolis, Indiana: Liberty Fund, vol. 3, p. 74.
