Extractions: You've probably seen calculators that have solar cells calculators that never need batteries , and in some cases don't even have an off button. As long as you have enough light , they seem to work forever. You may have seen larger solar panels on emergency road signs or call boxes, on buoys, even in parking lots to power lights. Although these larger panels aren't as common as solar powered calculators, they're out there, and not that hard to spot if you know where to look. There are solar cell arrays on satellites , where they are used to power the electrical systems. You have probably also been hearing about the "solar revolution" for the last 20 years the idea that one day we will all use free electricity from the sun . This is a seductive promise: On a bright, sunny day, the sun shines approximately 1,000 watts of energy per square meter of the planet's surface, and if we could collect all of that energy we could easily power our homes and offices for free.

Extractions: of Science Sponsored by We often hear about solar car challenges and solar heating, but will solar energy ever be a major energy source for industrial societies? You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of energy Printer-friendly version of complete topic Alternative energy sources are far less polluting than traditional fuels, although they may have other drawbacks. One source of alternative energy is the sun. The Earth is bathed in huge amounts of the suns energy. We can use this solar energy directly, simply by capturing sunlight. Humans have always used the suns energy directly (eg, for drying clothes and foodstuffs), as well as indirectly to power the agriculture that supplies us with food. This century we have started to use solar energy more effectively, and it is likely that well increase its use in the future. The great feature of solar energy is the fact that it is likely to continue to exist so far into the future that we can think of it as being unending. It is, therefore, a form of

The Hazards Of Solar Energy
THE HAZARDS OF solar energy. They urge construction of vast solar energy collectorsto convert sunlight to electricity to supply our energy needs.
http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/solar.htm

Extractions: Over the years I have heard and read much nonsense, to the point where nothing surprises me any more. Recently an item caught my eye, a pamphlet put out by the Citizens' Reactionary Alliance Concerned with Keeping the Environment Decent. It's a nice example of the style and `logic' common to propaganda pieces from many groups of alarmists and `aginers.' Many groups and individuals are proposing that our government spend tax money on research and development of systems to utilize solar energy. They urge construction of vast solar energy collectors to convert sunlight to electricity to supply our energy needs. They would even put solar collectors on roofs of homes, factories, schools, and other buildings. Proponents of this technology claim that energy obtained from the sun will be safer and cleaner than coal, oil, or nuclear energy sources. We view these proposals with alarm. Unscrupulous scientists and greedy promoters are hoodwinking a gullible public. We consider it rash and dangerous to commit our country to the use of solar energy. This solar technology has never been utilized on such a large scale, and we have no assurance of its long-range safety. Not one single study has been done to assess the safety of electricity from solar energy as compared to electricity from other sources. The promoters of solar energy cleverly lead you to believe that it is perfectly safe. Yet they conveniently neglect to mention that solar energy is generated by
