Yet. And until we push for it instead of sitting on our hands and "settling" for more fossil fuel/non-renewable energy sources, it will never happen.

so you're right, Dub. Solar can't fix our energy problems at the moment. So instead of spending your time fighting for what we already have, why don't you fight for more funding for research to make green energy sources viable?

I think Nuclear power is an ok stop-gap, but it CANNOT be viewed as "acceptable." Nuclear power is methadone. It might help you wean off the hard stuff, but your goal and focus needs to be on getting CLEAN, not thinking methadone is the cure.
