Solar Energy
All life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. Solar energy is the source of
energy for photosynthesis. It provides the warmth necessary for plants and animals to
survive. Scientists have found a way to use God's natural light towards the advantage
of our daily lives. The affects of this idea revolutionary, results of solar power could
lead to a more modernized society and efficient economy.
Solar energy is a term that usually means the direct use of sunlight to produce
heat or electric power. Solar technology is improving rapidly. Someday, it may
provide a clean and abundant source of power. Solar energy is a very useful resource.
Today 80% of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels and about 1% comes from
solar energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable, that means that they are used up faster
than they could be replaced. Also fossil fuels limited and cause pollution.
Recently, there has been talk about creating a whole livable society in which all
essential sources of man-made energy, which is virtually pollution-free and affordable,
seems impossible. Although such a concept seems like science fiction today, real efforts
are underway to assure that by the late 21st century, what once seemed like a dream, will
soon be reality. Cars will soon have no use for fuel and will be powered by solar energy.
There are also plans to manufacture solar powered homes. By doing this families can
cut electricity bills in half and be able to live more efficient lives. The issue of "what
happens when night falls?" has already been addressed. Scientists have developed a
way to convert the energy absorbed by the sun in the daylight to a rechargeable
battery when night falls. So when the sun shines the next morning, it is a recycling
process.
However, even though solar power has its advantages, some scientists argue
it's Disadvantages. The sun's energy is
