Due Date May 29‚2013 Environmental Science Block 1A May 25‚ 2013 Every hour the sun beams onto Earth more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun’s energy and make it useable. Solar Energy is the energy from the Sun. The Sun is a big ball of heat and light resulting from nuclear fusion at its core. The nuclear reaction releases energy that travels outward to

population without access to electricity. Some smaller villages have community diesel generators which can provide small amounts of electricity to households. Photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation is being used in special applications throughout the country. Twenty-six rural health centers are each supplied with 2-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic power systems for refrigeration‚ lighting‚ operating theaters‚ fans‚ and laboratory equipment. Additionally‚ the majority of the 140 rural clinics are equipped

The future of humanity is at stake due to the high consumption of energy sources that are used to get us through our everyday lives! Our most common methods of generating energy are polluting our beloved planet Earth and tearing up the ozone layer. Also‚ many of these methods we are currently abusing to generate energy are non-renewable. Thats means we could run out any day now. This is a formula for complete disaster‚ but don’t be scared. Like most things we can fix this situation we have put ourselves
