Why is it that we have the answer to some of our energy questions/needs yet we don't seem to be working hard/fast enough to quell them? Do we actually have the answer? Is it all the energy lobbyists and old money interests?

Brian Cox made a documentary on this and he worked out that we would need to cover all of Europe and have of africa to get enough energy from solar or something silly like that.

Cool preview, I like that Cox plays the rock-star scientist role. Someone needs to and he does it well. Can we build a star on earth? Cool question.
