Jan 15, 2021 - How solar energy got so cheap, and why it`s not everywhere
A lot speaks for solar energy. It`s clean, renewable – and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don`t we use a lot more of it yet?
We`re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn`t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we`ll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
