Unfortunately we need to

Unfortunately we need to wait for Big Oil to run its course before solar power is taken seriously for mainstream energy provision.

Timely seminars - latest

Timely seminars - latest news about solar power is that a near-100% efficient solar cell has been developed:- http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39807/113/ "Researchers at Ohio State University have accidentally discovered a new solar cell material capable of absorbing all of the sun's visible light energy. The material is comprised of a hybrid of plastics, molybdenum and titanium. The team discovered it not only fluoresces (as most solar cells do), but also phosphoresces. Electrons in a phosphorescent state remain at a place where they can be "siphoned off" as electricity over 7 million times longer than those generated in a fluorescent state. This combination of materials also utilizes the entire visible spectrum of light energy, translating into a theoretical potential of almost 100% efficiency. Commercial products are still years away, but this foundational work may well pave the way for a truly renewable form of clean, global energy."
