Solar eclipse

The low long term cost of solar energy and the benefit of solar power for the environment make it an ideal option for large scale energy production. The integration of enhanced solar panels and improved batteries strengthen the possibility of solar energy being one of the main sources of sustainable energy for future generations. The second crises that demands a solution is the water…

Energy Consultants, LLC is a small startup company specializing in residential energy audits and like any company have some strengths and weaknesses. The company has one employee and started with performing one audit per week which after two weeks increased to around five energy audits a week throughout southeastern Connecticut. Energy Consultants LLC works very hard in doing their job well. They do this by keeping up with the latest trends and technology by attending training seminars and…

Ever since 2006, when Pluto was "demoted" to be a dwarf planet, people all over the world have complained about the change. The complaints are based partly on nostalgia; as children, they learned that Pluto was a planet, and they do not like change. However, in this essay, I argue that classifying Pluto as a dwarf planet is justified as the classification is useful; however, its status as a dwarf planet should not indicate that it is not as interesting as the planets. I will discuss, first, the…

After having our solar system been observed for centuries and studied in detail for decades, just recently a new planet was discovered within our solar system. This Planet is called Planet 9 and was just recently discovered thanks to mathematical modeling and computer simulation (Watts). This new discovery is important to space exploration because it proves that there is more to know about our solar system. The discovery of Planet 9 also sparked the interest…

Solar energy is one of the oldest forms of energy use as our early ancestors used heat from the sun to start fires to cook food are heated rocks to provide warmth through the night. These two scenarios are both examples of solar renewable energy. You may have noticed some of your neighbors with shinny panels on top of their roof. Well your neighbors are going green and trying to get away from non-renewable energy which hurts the environment by the pollution that comes from using oil or nuclear…

alternative ways of providing energy to the human population, solar energy lends itself to provide energy in an efficient manner that helps protect and save…

more energy efficiency and increasing the use of solar energy so that the increasing population will have adequate energy supplies should non-renewable energy sources become depleted. Energy efficiency can be improved by setting stricter guidelines for energy use for corporations and local businesses. These guidelines should be well enforced. Being energy efficient saves money spent on energy costs, and reduces pollution emissions. Additionally, solar panels should be installed onto medium to…

Solar Energy Solar energy is one of the greatest inventions that has changed lives by bringing power to thousands, and has the potential to help all! The sun emits enormous amounts of solar radiation. Solar panels are built with a very complex structure. Solar power is being used all around the world, mostly by more developed countries, and has the potential to be effective everywhere in Africa. Solar energy can be used for everyones electricity needs by making their home efficient and power…

pollution, create a renewable and abundant source of energy, and all at a small cost. The first and most common alternate source of energy is solar power. Solar power has been used since the beginning of time, by plants that is, but we are just now leaning to use it. It works by harnessing the energy from sun light. This is the most direct…

alternative energy has begun to peak interest, and become a more readily available and cost efficient means of sustainability. An example of this would be the huge drop in cost of solar panels. In 1977 a solar panel went for $76.67 per watt compared to todays cost of $0.613 per watt. In many countries as well the cost of solar power compared to the diesel fired peaking is lower. The only problem being that storage is not as readily available. But its not all bad news, as humans have begun to see…
