Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

By zapping seawater with electricity, scientists make a solid carbon-negative building material.
In a double whammy, the method sucks up carbon dioxide and upcycles it into a material that can be used to make concrete, cement, plaster, and paint.
