That headline is kinda stupid when you think about it. Almost all of the world’s energy system (Ignoring gravity effects) has been solar powered since its existence.

What’s transforming is how humans electrify their gadgets, which you could argue have historically been solar powered as well. That solar energy was just stored in long term batteries.
