The reason solar energy is important to me is because it is the source of all the energy we have on earth. Fossil fuels such as oil and gas, as well as alternative energies such as wind all had the sun as their source.
If we can figure out how to capture more of the solar energy that reaches earth in an economical way, we will have much more energy than we need. This would help develop economies in a sustainable way and eliminate wars fought over energy. By capturing this energy from it's true source, we'll be much better off.
All we need is that breakthrough in solar energy technology. I'm hopeful.
