The time has come to harness the sun
Overview
The time has come to harness the sun. Today, humanity faces a multitude of sweeping crises. Amongst them, an energy crisis, which requires us to meet an ever increasing demand; an environmental crisis, which requires all of that additional energy supply come from clean sources, and an economic crisis, which suggests a need for new models for growth.
Fortunately, solar energy stands at the crossroads of these challenges and offers an opportunity to address them simultaneously. Indeed, with today’s solar technology we can access about 4 times the world’s annual demand for power and we can do so cleanly.
