I guess environmentalism is now officially no longer cool. This guy is square.

@sth128 - Are u saying, "Discourage people from trying"? Actually, that is what u are doing. U are also underestimating the ability of people to research on the net, come up with ideas, try them out, and learn- every DISCOVERY was a discovery (was it not?). How many new inventions were stumbled upon? 6 billion people, many billion of them on the net, & you are saying amatures can't use the net to learn & build a better parabilic mirror collector in their back yard? Your claims are outlandish

Unless you can provide evidence to the contrary, there are no solar voltaic cells capable of 75% efficiency. Solar collectors are not the same as solar panels. You need lots of additional systems to convert heat to electricity. I doubt amateur builders could construct a 75% efficient heat-engine in their garage.
I majored in energy engineering in college. My team built solar water heaters with photovoltaic driven electric motors. Your claims are outlandish. Maybe you should study.

YES- YOU CAN BUILD SOLAR PANELS IN YOUR GARAGE! Google or YouTube "parabolic mirrors". %75 is entirely possible. Why would you want to buy 4 more solar panels at 4 times the cost? This is the time for "The People" to realize that YOU CAN BUILD SOLAR CAPTURE DEVICES IN YOUR GARAGE- The 'Established' companies don't want you to REALize this. We NEED to get to our garages if we really want to make this happen. Just keep a fire extinghisher around :) STUDY STH, STUDY!

That makes no sense. First off, we can never get 100% efficiency on ANY type power generation. Second, to get 5X (!) of energy, just install 4 more 20%-efficient panels.
75%-efficient solar panel is still a wet-dream. As far as I know the best panels hover around 40% right now. For residential households You need an initial investment of $15,000 to $20,000 to get a starter system which has a RoR of 10 years. You can't build panels in your garage!

Solar panels today can capture 20% of the suns energy. That means we could potentially get 5X (!) the amount of energy if we focus on how to do it. 20% efficiency isn't great, but it can easily power a home & electric car. At 75% efficiency, it BLOWS AWAY the cost of oil, coal, and (so called) "natural" gas. If we reach 75% efficiency, it's over for fossil fuels. This is one of the best areas to focus on - Let's get to 75%!!! Build things in your garage, experiment, study, invest, encourage!

WORD
Energy is nothing but abundant on the planet. But big oil does not want to give up its profits. And this is the problem.

i like that video very much
