BP Solar Closes Thin Film Operations [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Rant! Shell lays off PV workers. BP shuts down PV thin film production. These
are difficult economic time, folks. But oil profits are up and we are sending
teenagers to the Middle East. Think about it next time you fill up your pickup
truck and drive to a PV installation.
