It is renewable and "supposedly" less population.

There are two forms of solar energy. 1. Solar electric. It is clean but the solar panels only work well up to about 20 years. The manufacture process of the Solar panels also generate tons of pollution due to the chemical content.
2. Solar thermal. This is the ideal form of solar energy as it is more efficient since it uses all the heat and light generated by the sun. It is also clean but it requires a large area and tons of water. It generates heat by focusing the sunlight onto a focus spot and heat up water which turns into steam and that powers steam turbine which powers electric generators. it is like burning ants with your magnifying glasses.
