Great news for solar power. What I found quite funny, although it was surely unintentionally so, was the use of the word "graduate" in Treehugger's article: "It's a rare treat when a promising one graduates to the commercial level." Why? The process (Konarka's advanced photovoltaic technology) started with Dr. Alan Heeger and the late Dr. Sukant Tripathy, "an internationally known polymer materials scientist, provost at UMASS Lowell and founder of the Plastic Innovation Center."
One word: plastics. The Graduate.
