Supply and demand economics are still alive and well. As oil prices
go down, supply will eventually drop also. There's also a good chance
that demand may start coming down as various energy saving strategies
begin to take effect and alternative sources such as solar and wind
power increase. Solar is right on the cusp of becoming truly cost
effective as panels become more efficient and production costs
continue to decrease.
Solar will take off when it gets below a dollar a watt at the plug.
Chinese collectors are approaching that price at the collector but you
are still buying and maintaining the rest of the system. Nat Gas
getting cheaper may actually slow the rollout of solar.
I did another survey and I will have to cut down some trees now to
make it work here. Unfortunately I would need a permit to do it
because they are "natives" and one is not on my property.
I have 2 live oaks that came up from acorns and now they are huge.

Next windstorm. Which trees fell down?
That is part of the problem. It has been 9 years since the last storm
Rain storm made them fall down. . . .
