China gone solar water heater crazy?

Why is America falling so far behind in solar power? More than 30 million Chinese people use solar water heaters, hardly any Americans use solar-powered water heaters.30 million Chinese people now use solar powered water heaters, even in areas where winter temperatures hit minus 20 and the sun rarely shows itself (more). Is this just another example of how America has lost its edge? Why doesn't America embrace alternative energy, especially clean technology? It's unacceptable, especially when many of these clean technologies pay for themselves - in addition to protecting the environment.

Are there any flaws to these heaters beyond the fact that they are quite ugly unless hidden?

From what I have read there are not any flaws, beyond consmetic. In fact, early reports seem to indicate that these solar heaters not only work extremely well, but easily pay for themselves.
