Remember that headline?
It would seem that not everybody is, as equally affected by this, "shortage" as we "end user."
How do like this headline?

$170,000 to $400,000 a year! To do what exactly? George W. Bush is payed $400.000 a year to be the president of the USA. What in the world could these PV executives possibly be doing to be worth that? Generally speaking, aren't these executive types the same ones who "dropped the ball" and caused that "shortage of raw materials" which in turn caused PV module prices to increase at a time when that price should have been decreasing?
Maybe its just me, but there is something demeaning about that phrase, "end user." I personally don't care to much for "consumer" either. Its as if I am being placed at the bottom. The lowest of the low, unworthy.
I would think that these corporate leaders would use their talents to come up with something better for us. But, then again, why should they care about what we think? We are nothing but numbers to the lot of them, a "bottomline."
There is something familiar about all of this, I just can't seem to put my finger on it... Oh yeah! Its just like any other industry out there!
Slavery without chains? With any luck, future generations will be writting stories about us. Much like the ones we tell today about certain ancient civilisation. We today, call the Hebrews of ancient Egypt, "slaves," but how do we really know that? Wasn't that just the normal way things where done in their time.
I expected more from the PV industry. Didn't you?
