Together, wind and solar energy supply less than 0.6 per cent of the world’s entire energy needs. They are not only much more expensive than fossil fuels, but there are massive technological hurdles to overcome to make them efficient: direct-current lines need to be constructed to carry energy from the areas of highest sunshine and wind speeds to the areas where most people live, and storage technology needs to be invented so that when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t blow, the world still gets power.
