Nanosolar: hope shines on the horizon

"Every minute, enough of the sun's light reaches the earth to meet the world's energy demands for an entire year. What if every house and building in an entire city could collect that energy?"

Nano + printing technology = thin film solar panels. This is solar cell production based on the economics of printing, cutting the cost of solar electricity by an entire order of magnitude. The nanosolar breakthrough means that solar power could soon be as cheap and ubiquitous as grid power.
