A metal found in industrial wastes could help store solar and wind energy until it’s needed.
We have the technology to phase out fossil fuels, but it will take more than that.
Renewable resources are being exploited to the extent that there is a loss of species and future generations are threatened.
Solar power has enormous potential, but provides only about one percent of world electricity today. An engineer explains the many steps it takes to make solar panels that are efficient, clean and cheap.
