The document discusses a proposed photovoltaic tree product or service that would convert solar energy to electrical energy. The tree would have solar panel leaves and a cybernetic, nature-inspired aesthetic. It also references research showing that the sun provides far more energy to Earth than humanity uses annually, and that converting to worldwide wind and solar could avoid over $4,000 in costs per person every year.
