Nuclear and Solar Energy

GIZMODO published an article by Alexis Madrigal, entitled "Why America Doesn’t Have A Respectable Solar Industry".

By 2005 thirty-five million Chinese families were using solar hot water heaters, with solar commanding a 12 percent market share in the country. In 2007 China had nearly 70 percent of the world's 2.2 billion square feet of installed collector capacity. Chinese solar heater production outpaced Americans' by 160 times.

In comparison, energy is still a pure business in America. As a result, more profitable sources, including nuclear ones, other than solar still dominate the market. The fact above is never mentioned, obviously due to political reasons.
