Solar

The sun dumps an enormous amount of energy on the earth every single day. What is the likelyhood that one day it will be the primary source of energy for humanity?

It already is. The sun drives the water cycle (thus powering hydroelectric), the atmosphere (thus powering wind farms), photosynthesis (thus biofuels, food stocks (and thus animal power), and all fossil fuels), etc. The only major sources of energy in the system is the long, slow, radioactive decay of materials in the Earth, residual heat from the formation of the Earth, and tidal forces (which I'm not sure are a net gain or loss for the Earth).

I`ve already said "The sun dumps an enormous amount of energy on the earth every single day." I KNOW it drives everything here on earth, but thanks for mentioning it. Now put in on the power grid.
