The politicians sure don't seem to care much about climate change. Of course there is the idea of money to be made from climate change.

It is called "Disaster Capitalism" wherein many a profit is gained from responding to disaster. Lets see... Seawalls are one. Refugee resettlement is another. All kinds of infrastructure disasters will need $$.

As for solar BE hates it. It is already cutting into their profits and reversing their business plans. Not only that but people are using less electricity and BE's plans were all grow, baby grow.

Obama's Recovery Act put many a solar panel on buildings across the US. One I am familiar with used Suntech panels. Bought cheap and paid for by the gov. Funny circle going round, eh?

Whatever, the co2 emission cut over the years will be substantial.
