Why the future of energy is sun-powered

As the world turns away from Russian gas, the EU is determined to build up its solar industry. Nations and engineers are already making crucial moves to ensure this happens.

Everybody loves the sunshine, as Roy Ayers once said.

And why wouldn’t we, when it could be our forever solution to relying on environmentally damaging, non-renewable resources for energy?

Following warnings of impending doom from thousands of environmental researchers — just check out our article on the latest IPCC report — the EU has said it will do ‘whatever it takes’ to phase out non-renewable energy in favour of solar power.

Lucky for us, countries such as Greece, France, and Spain have already got a head start on such projects, and one engineer may have just found the answer to solar energy’s biggest weak spot.
