The Importance of Evolving Clean and Sustainable Energy Systems

We have the technology to power the entire planet by harnessing solar energy. Solar is in fact so powerful that it is in the best position to replace even traditional energy generation systems worldwide. What very few people know is that this breakthrough for renewables can even be achieved and fully implemented in a matter of thirty years.

The total global energy usage in 2015 ranging from coal, oil, hydroelectric, nuclear and renewables was 13,000 Million Ton Oil Equivalent, which translates to 17.3 Terawatts (TW) of continuous power during the year.

If we cover 335km2 of land in the Great Saharan Desert with solar panels, even with moderate efficiencies easily achievable today, we will be able to generate more than 17.4 terawatts (TW) of power.…
