February 2014 (Intro) Solar Energy is an underrated renewable energy source. We should be looking to make advances to become more dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The more we rely on these new energy sources the more carbon dioxide‚ sulfur dioxide‚ and other greenhouse gases we could eliminate from the air which will help ensure a clean and safe environment for future generations. In addition‚ it could aid America to depend less on other countries for energy sources such as

Solar roadways are a series of structurally engineered solar panels that can be driven on‚ which would replace asphalt roads. Solar Roadways would collect energy and then distribute it to our homes and businesses in order to replace the need for fossil fuels and better the economy. This past February‚ four students at

Can Solar Energy be a viable alternative for electricity generation in Nepal? “The sun bathes the earth in a steady‚ enormous flow of radiant energy that far exceeds what the world requires for electricity fuel.” The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population‚ along with rapid industrialization and urbanization

Solar powered cars have been said to be the future of renewable transportation and that they are supposed to be economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Though it may sound like pure science fiction‚ there is development happening around world that is bringing that notion into reality. As I researched thoroughly to create my conceptual model for solar cars‚ I asked myself this: Are solar vehicles even practical for the U.S.? Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth
