Good things:
"The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth’s non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined."-wikipedia
-There are no greenhouse gasses emitted from the generation of power
-There are many others that are more obvious

Possible bad:
-the surface area required to generate power
-efficiency
-The sun isn’t out all the time
-Right now there is a question of cost, and more generally, who will pay for them

I read a little something related to your post over at google news… I became intrigued and began looking around, and then landed at this page… in any case, I think that I agree with what you discuss here. However I’m going to go see what additional information I can find as well.
