Energy prices will continuously go up, no doubt about it, despite the small temporary artificial declines prompted by the oil companies and politics. However, w/o subsidies any solar energy system (PV & wind turbines) have a hard time making a large enough splash into the global energy supply. And, unfortunatelly, the governments talk about the issue only b4 the elections, and forget all about it thereafter. Hence, start up companies in the renewables have a hard time finding a decent line of funding, and it's near impossible for them to borrow money under any conditions if they already have a large debt such as HLXW has.

Re: Energy prices have to go much higher, or government subsidies much greater for ordinary households to get really intereset in putting solar panels and/or a small wind turbine on thier roofs.
