After reading a very important article regarding the new development of Solar Photovoltaic Panels, I must confess to not being aware of there potential.
Very few people realise that solar is the only energy source that Moore's Law applies to. This means the power output will double every 2 years coupled with a falling price. This law came from the computer industry and we can all see what fantastic development of speed power and size came about over the last 20 years.
In fact countries that have year round sunshine will not have to worry about energy sources in the future. With cheap renewable energy these countries will be able to attract industry from around the world and provide desalinated sea water for growing crops in drought hit areas. If the right investment was made in countries in North Africa they could transform there lives by reducing the size of there deserts and creating wealth by exporting food.
My question to all Governments and politicians is, as this technology is advancing at this speed and looking just a few years into the future knowing that it will be possible to built power plants to match fossil fuel plants, why have the Governments around the world NOT started to invest in this technology. They still persist that the nuclear option is the only way to go. They insist they are wise and can make take the best decision on what option's are available for our future. Please stop me from laughing and crying at the same time.
The answer lies with the title of this blog Government Politics are at play within each country that is stopping the push forward we need in technology and ideas to create a better world.
All we can do as individuals is look to protecting our family's needs by being better educated and hopefully being able to relocate when necessary to improve our life's and to ignore what our politicians our telling us what is in our best interests.
Make your own decision
