No. (As per Betteridge's Law of headlines, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridges_Law_of_Headlines)

This will become the hacker news law. On any submission with a headline ending with a question mark somebody will point out the stupid betteridge law.

I downvote any comment that does nothing other than cite the stupid thing. I encourage others to do the same.

Sadly, I don't know what else to discuss about this article.

I'd suggest creating a more original hacker news law. I'm sure some of us are willing to work it into their TedX presentations, and whoop de doo we have our own annoying reference.

Then what if the story was submitted under the title "Is there anything that may stop solar power exponential growth from reaching 100% of our needs in 20 years?"

If you think that the answer is still 'no' while it completely reverse the conclusion, maybe this law isn't a "law" in the scientific sense - not even a theory, and shouldn't be cited (karma whoring?) any further on HN?
