Project Sunshine

Exploring innovative uses of solar energy, Project Sunshine reveals how science can provide sustainable food and energy for a growing global population.

In Project Sunshine, readers are introduced to the groundbreaking concept of utilizing solar energy to address the pressing challenges of food and energy for a rapidly growing global population. The authors, Steve McKevitt and Tony Ryan, present compelling evidence that just one hour of sunlight could fulfill the world's energy and food needs for an entire year. This astonishing revelation sets the stage for a deeper exploration of our relationship with the sun and its potential to revolutionize our approach to sustainability.

The narrative takes us on a historical journey, illustrating how humanity's connection with the sun has evolved over time. By examining our past interactions with solar energy, the authors highlight the detrimental reliance on fossil fuels, which they refer to as 'fossilized sunshine.' This dependence has led to significant environmental and economic challenges, but Project Sunshine offers a hopeful perspective by showcasing innovative scientific advancements that can help us reconnect with the solar economy.

As the book unfolds, McKevitt and Ryan delve into the cutting-edge technologies and scientific breakthroughs that promise a sustainable future. They emphasize the importance of not only harnessing solar energy but also restoring our relationship with the earth that sustains us. Through engaging storytelling and insightful analysis, Project Sunshine inspires readers to envision a world where solar energy plays a crucial role in feeding and powering a population of 10 billion people sustainably.
