Could new solar power technology rival oil?
A major breakthrough in harnessing the sun’s energy has just been announced by a team of Stanford University researchers.
Instead of just harvesting light energy from the sun – or alternatively, just the sun's heat – the researchers found a way to combine the two forms of energy into a highly efficient system.
And they say the technology is so inexpensive it could rival oil.
“It’s pretty darn exciting,” said Sue Kateley, executive director of the California Solar Energy Industries
