Whats is Solar Power II
All parts of the Earth receive solar power (also known as solar energy) and man’s ingenuity
has always tried to find ways of using this bounty of power available to his best advantage. Human civilization has
always used the energy of the Sun as far back as they have existed on this planet. Solar energy—power from the
sun—is free and inexhaustible.
It is only now we comprehend that:
In barely twenty days of sunshine we receive enough energy from the Sun to make up for all the energy stored in
Earth's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas;
The amount of energy consumed by the entire population of the planet earth in one year is received from the Sun
in barely forty minutes of sunshine;
All the six billion inhabitants of the planet Earth in twenty five years would not be able to consume solar
energy received in one single day;
Currently we harness barely 1% of this energy.
Solar power is a clean environmentally friendly source of power. Now is the time to take advantage of this abundant
resource This vast, clean energy resource represents a viable alternative to the fossil fuels that currently
pollute our air and water, threatening our very existence.
