It is shown that the current solar neutrino situation, with results from the Homestake experiment, the Kamiokande experiment, GALLEX and SAGE is unfortunately still ambiguous. The differences between observations and the standard solar theory may still be due to either astrophysical inputs or new neutrino physics. The need for new neutrino physics, MSW or vacuum neutrino mixing is sensitive to the results of the Homestake experiment. If the Homestake experiment is correct, then new neutrino physics is required. A problem with the uncalibrated Homestake experiment would allow an astrophysical solution, which merely consists of a slightly cooler sun than the standard solar model of Bahcall et al The use of future experiments, SNO, Super Kamiokande and Borexino to resolve this ambiguity are explicitly discussed. The measurement of deeper helioseismology modes by GONG will also further constrain solar model solutions.
