"March 13, 2012 Twin Creeks, a solar power startup that emerged from hiding today, has developed a way of creating photovoltaic cells that are half the price of today’s cheapest cells, and thus within reach of challenging the fossil fuel hegemony. The best bit: Twin Creeks’ photovoltaic cells are created using a hydrogen ion particle accelerator."

"When all’s said and done, if you buy Twin Creeks’ equipment, it is promising a cost of around 40 cents per watt"
