“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Is there such a thing as a solar powered solar panel manufacturing plant yet? I'm not trying to be ironic here, exactly. I just hate the way the progressive left leaves its flank so ridiculously unguarded in these debates.
In some ways solar power is an idea whose time has not exactly come. It will still take a real political AND technological revolution to overcome the entrenched fossil fuels economy.
Besides voting not to fund nuclear power plant development and voting "yes" to increase standards for coal-powered electrical plants (either directly or through a representative), what power does the middle class have? We use our pocketbooks,hopefully supporting increased investment into solar panel development and non-fossil fuel powered cars. It at least provides a highly visible argument and a material investment in the dialogue.
