A team of Japanese scientsts believe they have developed a way to provide 50 percent of the world's energy needs from one source by 2050 -- by building solar power plants in the Sahara desert.
Deserts contain abundant silica, the raw material for silicon, and the scientists' plan, called "The Sahara Solar Breeder Project," involves building silicon-manufacturing plants powered by the sun, which can then breed into further plants and more power.

According to DigInfo TV, the sun delivers 10,000 times more energy to the Earth than mankind currently uses, so catching 0.01 percent of it would create a surplus.
