  You should look up how it went once the EU project got known to larger hidden players of the world. The only thing missing from that project was HVDC "breakers" (idk the enlgish word), which got engineered in time, though the project fell apart. Solarcells currently are around 20 in efficiency (give or take) there is technology for 40-50% efficiency ready to go and be mass produced (being held back, you can argue oil and aristocracy or that consistant fast technological evolution kills those investing early in it as causes) and the theoretical roof around 70% was broken (99.9 something is possible). Either way the only other way of producing or harnessing energy is torium - due to partial beneficiary effect on halftimes on currently radioactive materials produced. Afaik China is the only ones who have a torium plant up and running (for the western world to survive the energy boom advance solarpower quickly through regulation nationally and make the huge investments on other continents/nations to upkeep status quo).
