Solar Energy – A Sustainable Power Is Harnessed

Since ancient times the sun was considered as a source of energy: spiritual and other wise. It is so sad to find out that in fact only 10% of solar energy is actually used. Perhaps if we are more aware of its use and its capacity as a sustainable power then maybe we will be able to use and promote solar power.

The Beginning of All Things

So often the sun has been linked to life. It provides the necessary ingredients of the recipe that makes up plant life and helps maintain the climate rather nicely. All said and done the sun is a pretty good thing to see when you get up in the morning.

I am sure many of you would agree with me when I say that I love waking up in the morning to a sun filled day as opposed to a cloud filled or even raining one, but that is just me. There is just something about the sun and the blue sky that just looks wonderful. It makes me feel good and adds to the start of a good day.

I was first introduced to solar energy in the movie, Race the Sun with James Belushi and Halley Berry in the lead. It was a story about low- income and under achieving Hawaiian students encouraged by their teacher to join the Solar Car race. In the movie, a car shaped like a cockroach and covered with solar panels used the sun’s rays as an alternative energy source to run the car.

Solar energy is the light and the heat from the sun. Solar energy is free and its supplies are unlimited. There are n air and water pollution caused about by using solar energy. But there is still some impacts on the environment although indirect.

Everyone knows about our recent credit crunch, and also our energy crisis as well. Our dependency upon non renewable energy sources is ridiculous. We should have had a plan for this a long time ago, but as with most things we don’t take the time to think about it and plan for it unless it effects us directly. This brings us to the point of this post. Renewable Alternative Energy Sources that have been long overdue.
