Apparently "In God We Trust" is going to replace the stars and bars. The Repubs gotta get in one last dig.

A vast majority of people don't realize that it replaced E Pluribus Unum, From Many, One, during the Red Scare, to "Make America a Christian, God-Fearing, Nation" to differentiate us from the "Godless Commies".  Personally I much prefer the Latin.

"In the world of solar energy, the main measure of success has always been panel efficiency."

Total BS. The main measure of success has been installed price per watt.

Photovoltaic cells are so cheap and reliable that it is almost impossible to develop trackers that cost less than just adding more panels to your array.

Note, I'm bitter about this as my company wasted a lot of resources on a solar panel design that increased efficiency, rather than decreasing installation costs.

We no longer build solar panels.
