the link I posted said solar will be competitive within 10 years. nanotechnololgy is what, 10-20 years old?

even if what you say is true, wouldn't it make sense to use the carbon tax to fund things like solar nano research?

Predictions of the rate of development of technology shouldn't normally be taken seriously. I've looked into this area quite a bit. Several times groups have made 'breakthroughs' that seemed to herald massive improvements, but progress keeps stalling out.

Whether money should be allocated to this is unconnected with the money that comes from a carbon tax.
