The point is that we have had solar tech for quite a while, and all that needs is refinement to a more cost-effective level. The major problem with using
solar energy on a large scale has generally been the fact that the sun isn't up more than a few hours a day, so any power you get has to be got in a
relatively short part of the day. While large solar cells are painfully expensive, the number of batteries/capacitors/flywheels it'd take to store enough
energy to make a full-scale solar farm capable of supplying power 24/7 is both prohibitively expensive and environmentally murderous.
