Computers were devised and developed to the level they are now because we had control of the whole process. We can't increase the ouput of the Sun, and thus the amount of energy we receive on the Earth's surface.

I don't understand why, when the physics, science and engineering aspects of power generation is so well known, that we're still kicking around the solar option here.
Come on folks, haven't you done your homework!?

Always with you Alex! Reminds me of my old physics teacher at school (mid 60's). He was a big factor in sustaing my love of science. He used to say: "The trouble with society nowadays is there's a lack of moral fibre." (Imagine
that being said in school today!) He also said something which I've tried to apply over all these years, not always successfully: "It's much better to laugh
with someone than
at them."
You must have been at the same school!
