As the U.S. government continues to heap billions in subsidies to the world’s wealthiest coal and oil companies, the solar industry has been struggling to make it in the States. This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is that we’re missing out on one of the biggest growth industries in the world.

Fortunately HyperSolar, a new U.S. company, offers a bright ray of sunny hope on the clean energy frontier.

If we have the political will to overcome the stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry on our nation’s energy policy, we could become 100 percent renewably powered in a 2030-2050 time frame.
