Solar energy is great for small applications but a total waste of time, space, and development money for anything large scale. The space required and cost of either wind or solar energy is to prohibitive, not to mention too limited to be a legit energy alternative on a scale that would dent fossil fuel usage.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

Really? Even in Northeast states solar roofing essentially covers electric costs.

Yes but it's as I said, "small applications". Have you seen any powerplants based on solar energy? I know of none. Even if every home were equipped with solar energy it will make little if any dent in needed comsumption.
