Scenarios about 'solar power'
The harnessing of energy from the sun through photovoltaic cells, solar thermal systems, or other conversion technologies. Solar power has evolved from experimental applications in the mid-20th century to become a significant renewable energy source, with its development shaped by oil crises, environmental concerns, and technological innovations. In alternate history scenarios, earlier or more advanced solar technology development could dramatically alter energy geopolitics, environmental outcomes, and the technological trajectory of human societies.
What If Renewable Energy Was Adopted Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where renewable energy technologies were widely adopted decades before our current transition, dramatically altering the trajectory of climate change and geopolitics.
What If Solar Power Was Developed Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where solar photovoltaic technology was developed and widely adopted decades before our timeline, potentially reshaping energy geopolitics, environmental outcomes, and technological development throughout the 20th century.
What If Australia Became a Renewable Energy Superpower?
