talked about energy sources; solar and petrol. In the past several years‚ solar energy has been implemented in a wide variety of machineries; from calculators to automobiles‚ and it is considered as one of the most efficient source of power. Nevertheless‚ a number of people prefer petrol rather than solar for their source of fuel. What is the extent of the differences in those two inventions? Whereas petrol-powered cars are fueled by petrol‚
