“…The point about solar energy is that there is so much of it that you only have to tap 5% of it at an efficiency as tiny as 1% and you already have energy over 5 times the whole world’s present consumption…what are we waiting for?” –Derek Abbott, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Adelaide in Australia
