After all, Solarios chief executive was once on the financial planning team for Ready-to-Ware, a software engineer
3、ing firm that has shown remarkable growth since its recent incorporation.”投资公司打算部的备忘录：将太阳能转化为电能的几种设备的本钱最近降低了。而且，一些令人兴奋的转化太阳能的新技术正在讨论和开发中。因此我们可以预期作为发电原料的太阳能将变得比媒和石油更廉价更吸引人。我们应当鼓舞给新的太阳能动力产品制造商Solario投资。究竟Solario的CEO曾是ReadytoWare（一家在其新近成立后表现出众的软件工程公司）的财务打算团队中的一员。1. The decrease of the cost of several t
4、ypes of equipment does not necessarily guarantee the reduction of the overall cost of the convertion of solar energy into electicity.2. It is still too early to say that the technologies for converting the solar energy that are being researched and developed will certainly make the solar energy cost
5、 efficient and attractive.3. Even if the cost reduction of the solar energy is immediately accessible, it is still imprudent to say the solar energy is more attractive compared with the coal and oil as a source of electrical power.4.

8、 energy will soon become more cost efficient and attractive than other forms of energy. This expectation is based on recent declines in the cost of equipment used to convert solar energy into electricity and on new technologies that are being developed for this purpose. An additional reason give in
9、support of this recommendation is that Solarios chief executive was a member of the financial planning team for a company that has shown remarkable growth since its recent incorporation. While this argument has some merit, there are a few assumptions that deserve attention.In the first place, the au
10、thor assumes that the previous business experience of Solarios chief executive will be an asset in the development of the new company. While this may be the case, the fact that the two companies deal in vastly different products is cause for some concern. The executives expertise in the software-eng

12、ergy over those powered by energy derived from coal or oil. On the face of it, this assumption seems acceptable; but it may be that there are other factors besides cost that make solar energy less desirable than other forms of energy.In conclusion, this argument is convincing. To strengthen the argument additional evidence indicating consumer preference for solar-powered products over products powered by conventional forms of energy would be desirable.
