Solar energy is something that i think
could be a good energy source for our growing needs. I know what many
of you think about solar; like how you think that it costs too much,
is not cost effective or event that it is not reliable because of
clouds and the daily solar eclipses that rob most of our sunlight
(that was made up). Solar cells are around 15% efficient and there is
little demand for them at this time because of cheap fossil fuels,
but that will change in the future. R&D in this field will mean
the difference between getting rich off of the lack of oil and gas in
the future or failing. The R&D that companies will conduct should
greatly enhance the abilities of the solar cells (somewhere i have
heard of cells that are around 40% efficient) thus making them more
practical. The best thing that i can say about solar cells is that we
should let the market decide what their future will be.
