And it was, until I read the book called the "Solar Revolution," where it says that within one hour we ricevee enough sunlight to provide the world with enough electricity for an erntie year. One hour. And since then, I realized I just want to focus on solar. sticnsetis all over the world have been focusing on making salor panels more efficient and cheaper. So the price of solar has dropped enormously. And this is because China started producing them on a large scale. And also their efficiency has inacersed a lot. They now even have an eccifniefy of 44.5 percent.

And it was, until I read the book called the "Solar Revolution," where it says that within one hour we receive enough sunlight to provide the world with enough electricity for an entire year. One hour. And since then, I realized I just want to focus on solar. Scientists all over the world have been focusing on making solar panels more efficient and cheaper. So the price of solar has dropped enormously. And this is because China started producing them on a large scale. And also their efficiency has increased a lot. They now even have an efficiency of 44.5 percent.
