A guess it is, given that solar cell efficiancy will eventually reach 60 %
in my estimate, then yes, buy one like that in your next lifetime if you
believe in that stuff.

Nope. That's why I'm not investing for the next lifetime. Only
fools without an ounce of economic sense do so.

In the mean time there are thoso who use them now.

Economic illiterates, yes. Ok, there are some who choose to live
off-grid for other reasons. I work with one. Fool (for choosing
to live off-grid), yes. Economic fool, no.

When the US gets a real oil problem, you can always get one at crisis price.

You're an economic illiterate too. Hasn't the concept of
competition reached that hell-hole yet? ...or are you really
that stupid?
