There's been a rally in the U.S. stock market since March. Well, sometime in 2008-09 -- thanks in part to solar photovoltaics and the effort to make buildings more efficient and sustainable -- a rally also begin in something called DC Power. It's going to be sustainable, unlike the stock-market thing.

In other words: DC Power is here, and it's here to stay. It's gaining ground, and it's going to get bigger. Three pieces of evidence:

1. The EMerge Alliance. Read up on the site, it's all about distributing DC power.

2. Press release from GE about a "Direct Current" Data Center System.

3. Coverage by yours truly of a presentation by the GSA's Kevin Kampshroer (look down to the subhed on "Dual Power Distribution").
