The inefficiency of solar energyViv Forbes: By the time solar energy reaches Earth's surface, it is spread very thin — even midday sunshine will not boil the billy or make toast. And solar collectors will convert only about 20% of that weak energy into electricity. Thus, thousands of solar panels are needed to collect significant energy, and lots more to charge the expensive batteries needed to maintain electricity supply overnight and during cloudy weather. Despite these disadvantages, force-feeding of "green" energy by all levels of government has given Australia nearly three million solar collectors (mai... read more
