Your poll was asking about payback for investors…presumably investors are investing in a company making a better, faster, cheaper version of X. The world loves solar (especially solar pv), it is still sexy, hi-techy and cutting edge after 50 years. Hence making an investment in a better, faster, cheaper solar widget appears that it would yield the biggest potential payback…just look at recent solar IPOs for proof.

What people think, as a matter of perception, is the exact point of this exercise. I don’t think I or anyone reading the results are confusing the poll’s results with fact. But the information is nonetheless insightful — that is, finding out what people are thinking. Don’t take these things so seriously…

What people THINK offers the best payback and what actually does are not necessarily the same. Too often today’s media confuses the results of a poll with fact rather than the perception of fact. Maybe you can provide some links to sites that will allow the poll participants to calculate their savings of each of these technologies. Given the results of the poll, I’ll bet they’d all be surprised.
