When people say solar energy, often they forget were that energy is coming.
I only wish people keep in mind that solar energy really is hydrogen fusion energy.
This is the direction that the world should and will eventually be going.
Yet don't forget that hydrogen is the source. Hydrogen is the most natural source for any type of energy. It doesn't have to be fusion.

@DeWayfarer Trouble is that the industrial process of 'producing' hydrogen en-masse - steam reformation - is one of the 'dirtiest' and most energy wasting industrial processes known. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off being 'better' or in any way 'green'.
The main issue at play is that you take any mass and you still require a quantity of energy, regardless of where it comes from, to move that mass from a to b. Energy can only be transformed, it's not created or destroyed. Energy transformation *always* incurs losses.

@zonavar68 no. Trouble is the greed involved in the energy industry. So called solar industry was just as inefficient hydrogen when it started.
Why is Hertz dumping their whole fleet of EVs? Primarily because they can't afford the darn maintenance of the batteries. Yet it's more than that. In very cold weather the darn EVs won't start.
There's no such problems with either hydrogen cells (yes electric) nor hydrogen gas run vehicles. It doesn't freeze even in cold temperatures.
Then there's the ecological problems of what to do with the batteries once they are spent. Please don't say recycling! It's not happening!
Yet with hydrogen the waste is pure water! Possibly a little nitrogen with both cells and hydrogen gas.
If we would have invested in hydrogen decades ago the technology would be far more advanced than today.
It's greed that's the problem!
