IBM (IBM) Advances Solar Power

IBM (IBM) is doing something important and will probably make money at it to boot.

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co. will work with IBM to develop processes and equipment for the production of thin-film photovoltaic solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity." The thin-film technology is cheaper to produce and should sell for much less that current technology. That means that the price point for solar energy will come down and its ability to compete with oil product like gas will improve markedly.

Good for them. "IBM, We Bring Good Things To Living, We Bring Good Things To Life".
