Solar Energy to 7 Billion People

By exploiting the powers of nanotechnology and taking advantage of nontoxic, Earth-abundant materials, Berkeley Lab's Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells. And, by mastering the chemistry of these materials—and the economics of solar energy—he envisions bringing electricity to the 1.2 billion people now living without it.

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this Berkeley Lab's Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells.

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Berkeley Lab's Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells.

But solar still at its dawn or adaptation period. There still is no rush into solar industry, and so there still not enough funding on research.

Please stop having more than two or three kids people, it's hurting not only us but everything we share this planet with.

You are basing your figures on current central forms of solar conversion.

Nuclear energy is not possible in rural india.

The whole point solar is that it can be massively distributed without having power cables running for thousands of miles.

And that does not take into account all the resources required to keep nuclear power stations running.

Using solar power combines with efficient energy usage. Can make energy systems more flexible than central power stations.
