Whitehouse supports solar power...

This was good news from not only an environmental standpoint but one of technology and business as well with the news that the Whitehouse was expected to announce funding from Bush's Solar America Initiative to Konarka Technology who is the maker of:

...flexible plastic solar cell strips - material that could be embedded into the casings of laptop computers and even woven into power-producing clothing to energize digital media players or other electronics.

The technology, which received its first Pentagon funding three years ago, offers a lightweight, flexible alternative to conventional rigid photovoltaic cells on glass panels.

Several other companies are also going to receive funding from the same governmental source, which in my opinion is a step in the right direction...
