Green energy in America: already gone or still growing?

In an alarming statement, Cliff Stearns (House Energy and Commerce Sub-committee) declared defeat to China, echoing the failure of Solyndra.  But Steven Chu disagrees, and so do I.

Solar Decathalon

Congrats to the University of Maryland for winning the 2011 Solar Decathlon.  Very sweet entry, and some cool new technology including a heat powered dehumidifier.  Very interesting tech that I can see finding it's way into many new and old buildings.
