Oxford PV says it has set a new world record for most efficient solar panel, produced in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. 

The panel achieved a 25% conversion efficiency, an increase from the more typical 24% efficiency of commercial modules, the company added.

Oxford PV, a spin-out of the University of Oxford, is developing perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells, which have a theoretical maximum efficiency of more than 43%.

“Our record-breaking solar panels demonstrate that we are on the cusp of the next solar revolution, which will be delivered, in part, by our tandem cell technology,” says Chris Case, Oxford PV CTO.

“Solar energy is currently among the most cost-effective and sustainable energy sources. Our continuous advancements in technology will further enhance module efficiency, producing more electricity from the same area, and extending their use to all market sectors from residential, commercial through to utility scale.”

People Will Hate Me …..

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.

No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.

You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron.  There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.

Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?

The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.

Oh, it’s clear all right, but it’s not really true.  People who live in places like Northern Europe, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rico, etc. are generally quite affluent.
Now, if you aspire to be the world’s next trillionaire, on a planet where 1.5 billion people can’t a glass of clean water to drink, you’ll need to go to a place like Switzerland, where it’s easy to hide money from taxation.

Gun Laws

Published

on

We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.

Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.

Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
