Energy prices remain high, with a barrel of crude oil selling for well over $130. But thousands of megawatts of solar generated power might not see the light of day if Congress doesn't act soon. This hour, Ira and guests look at the battle over the renewable investment tax credit, and why solar industry execs are biting their nails over the legislative snarl.

Then, tired of waiting for Congress to act? We'll look at how you can bring solar to your sockets faster, without taking out a second mortgage. From the latest in panels and photovoltaics, to how you can pay for it all, we'll find out what you can do to add solar power to your world.
