Scientists are beginning to realise that sunlight is a valuable form of energy production in more than one way. A new breakthrough called rectenna technology has allowed scientists to convert sunlight straight into direct current electricity.

According to the Red Electrica de Espana (REE), Spain has been generating most of its electricity utilising carbon free sources of power. The Spanish received almost 69 per cent of their electricity generation during March from certain types of technologies that are carbon free, and most of it came from renewable energy sources, where a small amount was also generated from their nuclear plants.
