Let there be light!

This is a great piece on the growth in the UK's solar industry. Key takeaway:
The growth in jobs is attributable as much to the nature of the Government scheme as it is the size—offering predictable, guaranteed long-term support for the industry, rather than the more sporadic offers of short-term grants and tax breaks that have been so common across the Globe.

It's all about long-term certainty. Otherwise you have peaks and valleys for renewable energy development. And not to sound like a broken record here, but these policies create jobs, jobs, and more jobs.
