A Modest Proposal
Dream big, they say. How about spending some 58 trillion dollars to power the entire world with solar panels? What makes the proposal «modest» is the fact that it would pay for itself over 6 years thanks to energy cost savings – if the math is correct and if (a big if) we assume that cutting off all fossil fuel won’t cause major geopolitical turmoil.
