This solar report card examines strategic evidence and potential for the use of solar energy. It looks at continents and regions that would most efficiently use solar technology. The report also scores countries progress towards developing solar energy. Well, the report was not too optimistic. There was only one A, with Germany receiving an A-. Poland and Russia received received grades of F with no initiatives whatsoever involving PV and marginal efforts in developing other renewable initiatives. Other countries suprisingly lagging are China, the UK, and Canada, with all three countries earning grades of D. The purpose of the report is to encourage investment of 50 billion dollars or more over the next 2 or 3 years in solar energy. The report stresses that today's solar technology can meet today's annual energy demand four times over. There are several categories for which countries (and California) are graded upon.
