As reported in The Engineer, LDK solar is building a huge new polysilicon plant in Xinyu City, China. Polysilicon is the primary starting material for the production of solar photovoltaic cells. Hopefully, mass production on this sort of scale will lead to a reduction in the costs of PV arrays for power generation.
Just one little caveat. Please, please, please, don't handle the toxic waste materials such as silicon tetrachloride in the manner that other polysilicon plants in China appear to do.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
