Solar Power

The massive amount of heat that the sun produces and transmits to the earths surface is staggering. The suns rays that reach the earths surface are not as intense because some of them are rerouted before they reach the earth’s surface. If the sun’s ray’s were not rerouted you wouldn’t be able to go out side in the summer time. Have you ever seen an egg fry on the sidewalk? This is what it would be like if you stepped outside. Over one hundred years ago a man wondered if the steam from the heat of the day could power his machinery. Thus began solar power. Solar power is being used all over the world today. It is being used in a variety of ways. Most people still rely on electricity to power there homes but in the future solar power may be all we have. Solar power is cost effective because the only relative cost you have is in the installation. To use solar power you will have to have what is called a solar collector so you can take the sun and concentrate it so it can stay hotter for a longer period of time. This is fairly easy when you consider resources we have today. When using solar power for electricity you cannot go wrong. They use solar power in the space shuttles because it produces the most efficient form of power with the least complications. Solar panels are pointed toward the sun to power the shuttle efficiently. Solar power has fewer problems than other energies. Even when the weather is bad you can produce enough power to last until the weather clears. Solar power is the future we need to use it NOW! At this point there not many people using solar energy, we should be making people more aware And stop using energies that pollute the earths atmosphere.
