Space-based solar power (SBSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in space for use on Earth. It has been in research since the early 1970s. SSPS consists of a space-based power generation/transmission facility that gathers sunlight‚ converts it into microwaves or laser beams‚ and transmits those to the ground; and a power receiving facility on the ground. Space-based solar power essentially consists of three elements: • a means of collecting solar power in space‚ for example via solar cells or

immediate action to incorporation renewable energy sources is crucial. Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the

After driving its way through several layers of atmospheres to earth from about ninety-three million miles away‚ the land‚ water‚ and plants soak up about half of it while the other half makes its way back into space. This type of energy is unlike any other. It comes with significant benefits such as not costing money to obtain‚ causing

Energy is defined in physics as the capacity to make things move; it is widely used in today people’s residences‚ a variety of industries and technology fields. Most of the energy we use now comes from fossil fuels coal‚ oil and natural gas‚ which are being consumed more rapidly than they are being replaced. That means eventually we will use up these fuels. That is why we as a society need to broaden our research to develop new forms of energy resources are for this happens. There are kinds of

Conserving Energy to Save Money According to an article and graph published in The New York Times‚ “About 56 percent of all the energy that is produced in the United States is wasted” (Revkin). With all that energy being wasted‚ Americans cannot afford to waste much more. There are a number of things a homeowner can do around and to their household to conserve energy and save money at the same time. They can turn off unneeded electricity and try other sources‚ such as renewable energy to conserve
