The first wind turbine to supply electricity to the grid didn't even come along until 1941.<br /><br />Solar panels are the future. The first solar cell ever wasn't made until the 1880s! And the silicon solar cell was basically just invented (1954).<br /><br />Not to mention solar cells use silicon, so Moore's Law 's automatically applies.

But if it is so good, why do renewables at all?<br /><br />I suppose the argument is that with investment renewables will get better, but wouldn't that be true of nuclear as well?SteveK9noreply@blogger.com
