socialoutreacher discovered 9 weeks ago- From the page: "A new manufacturing process could mean improved efficiency for solar cells. The technique, which is being pioneered by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, results in "hairy" solar cells."

- The technique, which is being pioneered by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, results in "hairy" solar cells. The hairs are microscopic nanowires that boost solar cell efficiency by more efficiently conducting electrons from the collection surface of the solar cell to an electrode.

- Will this technology be able to deliver "green" energy affordably and reliably?

- By growing nanowires on a silicon base on a solar cell, it will boost the efficiency of that solar cell as a base unit.

- I was picturing hippy solar cells with long hair, and feeling good about that, but then I see the article (yes, it should be read) and I see they are more like a military, crew-cut style of "hair". But, that is OK, it is fine. I conclude that it will be good to have an army of crew-cut energy-warriors going out there across the USA and the world to fight the good fight for all of us, and to beat down on the dirty, unkempt nuclear and the dirty, unkempt coal industries. With the rate of innovation in wind and photovoltaics currently, and with the economics already FAVORING renewables in many cases, it is time to do a study for nation-wide feasibility, and then begin the switch to 90% to 100% renewable energy for this country.

- Hairy solar cells... that's just fun to say!

- Aggravation at the fact that no numbers are mentioned. Not even a range of numbers. Not an article. A teaser for an article that won't be written by this journalist.

- I love the images in this one - From the page: "use nanowires to more efficiently conduct electrons from the collection surface of the solar cell to an electrode."

- Guess what that's exactly like? A polar bear. (evolution already did it)
