Electricity From a Sunlight Seen
In a Yonkers dispatch Dr. John M. Arthur of the Boyce Thompson Institute says future farmers could profit more from turning sunlight into electricity than growing crops. If all radiant energy on an acre is captured and converted, the current could be worth about 106000 dollars a year at two cents a kilowatt hour, with higher output in sunny Southwest regions.
