I agree, that they all have a niche where they make economic sense. What I rail against is the "silver bullet" approach to the energy debate.
Even the article you linked, highlights the advantage of these cheaper solar cells to be used in areas where electricity has been traditionally unavailable. I too advocate micro solar applications (currently about $.12/kWh, where access to grid power is nonexistent.)
