Solar Energy Improves

Solar energy gets more efficient! Hooray! It has recently been improved to 40%, and while I don't know what the original conversion was, I'm extremely excited for this. Even if it's a small step, this means that we are nearing a less polluted existence. Theoretically after maximizing the efficiency of renewable energy conversions we should be able to completely drop off from the market.
Even though that sounds all great and what not, yay no more world pollution, I don't think fossil fuels should completely drop off the face of the earth. I still believe we should have them around but find another use for them, so that we can utilize as much of what's given to us as a species.
I also think we can't just ignore fossil fuels because the world would lose so many jobs and job opportunities from the change that it would do more harm than good. Things like vehicles would have to take time to adapt to the energy changes as well, but overall I think this is a really great improvement and a small step forward in energy.
