A Silicon Valley start-up called Nanosolar shipped its first solar panels  -- priced at $1 a watt. That's the price at which solar energy gets cheaper than coal. Curious that this story is not on every front page.

	Nanosolar has developed proprietary process technology that makes it possible to produce 100x thinner solar cells 100x faster.

Essentially, they've figured out how to print solar cells on thin sheets of aluminum with a printing press.
