Solar Energy Solar energy in one form or another is the source of nearly all energy on the earth. Humans‚ like all other animals and plants‚ rely on the sun for warmth and food. However‚ people also harness the sun’s energy in many other different ways. For example‚ fossil fuels‚ plant matter from a past geological age‚ is used for transportation and electricity generation and is essentially just stored solar energy from millions of years ago. Similarly‚ biomass converts the sun’s energy into a

An energy crisis is any great bottleneck) (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature though‚ it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place. Causes Market failure is possible when monopoly manipulation of markets occurs. A crisis can develop due to industrial actions like union organized strikes and government embargoes. The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at

* The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. This energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. * In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel famously used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. solar energy can be used to: * Heat
