    ,,In Seoul, South Korea, every public building and 1 million homes will have solar panels by 2022. South Korea, the world’s fourth-largest coal importer, is making a concerted effort to shift to green energy after public pressure to do so and aims to generate 35% of its electricity from renewables by 2040.''

    Given the fact that energy consumption will grow from developing regions/countries and current largest consumers, even, there will be better technologies, to match it up...

    How long will it take, still ?

    It is good for our climate
     
  3. Now that is actually a good move. I am all up for it but my concern is what will happen during winter since it is much much colder there, no?
     
  4. Colder yes, cloudier no. Cold sunny days are actually better for solar panel efficiency. Also, solar panels aren't meant to completely replace coal consumption. That would be the job for nuclear fusion or something should we ever get there.

    I am not sure we will see nuclear fusion any time soon, but using some clean energy is always good.

  6. Wonderful.
    I hope the rest of the world would start doing the same.

    Many people are doing the same, but just as individuals.
