1) I disagree.

2) If that claim is true then we should give up now. It will NEVER be possible for SPS to be cheaper than fossil fuels. Fossil fuels can keep us going for a couple of centuries.

As I have stated several times, SPS is only a viable competitor to fossil fuels at such time as people believe that global warming is a problem, and serious alternatives to fossil fuels must be found.

The biggest force that could drive SPS is the Kyoto Treaty. If the USA changes their stance and throws their weight behind Kyoto then SPS will come a lot closer.

Right now, the best market for SPS would appear to be countries which have or will ratify the Kyoto Treaty. Who might they be ?
