The sun provides as much energy in one hour as the entire human race consumes in a year. So why don't we harvest it? Artist Marjan van Aubel argues for a 'solar democracy'. The moment solar technology is linked to aesthetics and design, a whole new perspective emerges.
Solar energy can be a great godsend for people in today's energy crisis. In 2022, significantly more solar energy will be harvested in the Netherlands than in previous years. That seems nice, but a fanatical club of sun-believers wants to go much further.
The sun belongs to and is for everyone, so let's produce solar lamps, make clothes and windows that harvest sun, cover buildings and noise barriers with solar foil and start a real 'solar movement.'
