We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Solar Industry to Explode in Japan
Japan currently has the 2nd largest market for solar energy, but remains very dependent on imported energy. This will start to change as Prime Minister Fukuda's residential solar plan unfolds in 2009.

Sounds good, especially if the Japanese can make some real big break throughs in the technology.

Japanese are wellknown for their technological knowhow. If they are moving towards solar in a big way, one can stay assured that they will create best and reasonably priced solution for solar power generation.

I love their knack for coming up with ideas that are thought to be impossible at first.

"Solar Industry to Explode in Japan"

Interestingly enough, the Nuclear Industry previously exploded in Japan (all the way back in 1945), as a result of energy "donated" by the US.A

Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with electricity generation...
