Researchers based in Australia have transferred over 40% of the suns solar cells into electricity to power the grid.

Researchers based in Australia have transferred over 40% of the suns solar cells into electricity to power the grid. "This is the highest efficiency ever reported for sunlight conversion into electricity," UNSW Scintilla Professor and Director of the Advanced Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) Professor Martin Green said. The 40% is an achievement that has been waiting a life long. "The new results are based on the use of focused sunlight, and are particularly relevant to photovoltaic power towers being developed in Australia," Professor Green said.

I choose this article because I feel that we should be greener. I think that we should be greener with our energy because solar energy is safer. If you look back in history you can see multiple examples of nuclear energy plants leaking nuclear activity or worse.
