How do we get more energy from the sun?

[Randy]

Dwindling supplies of fossil fuels mean we’re in need of a new way to power our planet. Our nearest star offers more than one possible solution. We’re already harnessing the sun’s energy to produce solar power. Another idea is to use the energy in sunlight to split water into its component parts: oxygen, and hydrogen, which could provide a clean fuel for cars of the future. Scientists are also working on an energy solution that depends on recreating the processes going on inside stars themselves – they’re building a nuclear fusion machine. The hope is that these solutions can meet our energy needs.

Thoughts?

I thought about putting solar panels on my house.

We become Kryptonians and get a recharge straight from the sun, like Superman does.

Lol, how would we go about doing that?
