I'm curious the costs but at this point we can't even assume that a 4x production increase will result in a 1/4 per unit cost reduction as it depends on the production and what kind of profit Sanyo wants to milk from this. Generally though, a production increase results in…

6% ? lots of different recepies. Wikipedia has cells between 18 and 41% but doesn't mention commercial versions. They might not scale.

I suppose it's cumbersome, but you used the word "should" which struck me funny. Economics will determine the cost points and "should" is irrelevant if it means reduced…

probably the same percentage who divorce. If you can't communicate and be honest with your partner then checking a phone proves what exactly? More likely their own deficiencies.

...still much higher than it should be.

What should the cost be? You can determine costs from your keyboard?

the price per kWh was not indicated. With each new technology the cost goes down, especially for panels as they use the same or similar production as LCD TVs. As well the production increased, which usually reduces costs.

send the crime photos to all those thousands of fans. See if they are such a big fan after that. That sites are encouraging this is against their Terms of Service and should be taken down as well. The Justice department should ask for that.

Japan is in the drivers seat and doesn't know how to drive. They can take their time though, I don't see what they're so scared of.

The USA needs Japan to keep buying their T-bills else the country collapses. China just rebuffed Obama with zero concessions. Japan can also do…

some shifting of power. Walmart has been the People's Repulic of Shopping for decades?? Hardly sudden.

The USA uses the equivalent of 6 earth's worth of resources in order to function. That will go down. As well, China wants to live like the USA. That won't happen.

There are not…

California guide to eating fish is here: http://tinyurl.com/yeaqelm

Interesting to note that they recommend not eating fish more than once a week, eating many types of fish of a smaller size and not one type of fish which is older or larger as methylmercury accumulates more in the latter.

Methymercury…
