Government doesn't "invest", it takes by force and redistributes to favorites.
You mean like giving tax breaks and subsidies to oil and gas companies and other energy producing companies? Are you that ignorant that you don't the government investing in all different energy sources?
Edison and Marconi didn't use money that was taken involuntarily from others to achieve their goals.
Your analogy is disrespectful of their accomplishments.
They weren't born and brought up in Tristan de Cunha either.
It does? Quick, email the engineers and scientists this find so they can calculate this new finding into their overall plans! Thank you, without realizing the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day we have averted a major waste of money.

Wow how insightful. The both of you. Just. Brilliant.
That wasn't the claim. The claim is that the a "government run" solar array will be cheaper in the long term. My counterclaim is that nothing that the government "runs" is cheaper in the long run. No one is saying that investments shouldn't be made. I'm only saying that those investments don't necessarily equate into "cheaper" when the government is involved. With unfunded mandates more than ~$100 Trillion, it's clear that government is not the "cheaper" option. Everyone should know that by now.
The US government has been instrumental in supporting and cultivating many key industries in today's modern world, that is fact. Energy production and security isn't going to be something left up to private companies, as it never has, and never will. Government is going to play a key role in this so just get over it.
Keeping our enemies at bay is also cheaper in the long run...
Have you ever considered that by developing ways to rely less on liquid fuels that have to be shipped and trucked in is part of the plan of keeping the enemy at bay?
Obama's war on cheap coal. You know, the same coal used to power the manufacturing facilities in China making same solar panels.
