Thieves stealing panels soon to be worth nothng

The New Scientist reported recently that Solar Panels are set to drop in price, dramatically, as new production comes on-line and supply outstrips demand, over the next couple of years.

But apparently that memo didn't get delivered to the thieves across America, who seem intent on making the Solar Panels the big thing in theft statistics.

The New York times reports an alarmingly fast growth in Solar Panel theft in many areas across America.

Never fear though - as the price of photovoltaic cells plummets so will the incidence of taking them illegally.

Fantastic! Now we can make an argument to the Liberal / Republican / Conservative parties that reducing the cost of solar energy isn't a "Green" issue - it's a matter of crime prevention and civil unrest.
