Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that
doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar
energy from our Sun.
At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oil or
nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. one percent of solar
energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total
population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the
roofs of a house and the Sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be
stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will
be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the
year 2015.
