How come with all the advances in technology, solar power and wind power are still in their nascent state to provide energy on our planet? Where I live in Malta a small sunny island, both abound but their use is still understudied. http://www.fao.org/docrep/T4470E/t4470e0j.htm
I'm sure there are many countries with these same potentially energy efficient resources available.
