Solar energy is in its infancy. The renewable energy can produce at most 20% of global needs by 2050. Now it is 5%. Things will change on a breakthrough invention. Many countries and leading comapanies like Mitsubishi are trying.

We will be facing darkness at noon, if we are not practical and do nothing to secure our needs.
