    do you ever think solar energy will replace overall coal or oil as a primary energy source?

    Dear Kellie

    This is a REALLY HARD question!

    But you only asked for an opinion, so I'll give my 2 cents worth...

    At the present state of solar energy technology (collection & storage), providing as much energy as coal & oil is not feasible. And I don't think solar energy will catch up in the next 50 years....but MAYBE if we start collecting solar energy in space (not on the ground), solar will catch up...

    Hope this helps

    Paulett
