    contribution to human energy needs is substantial — worldwide‚ solar electricity generation is a growing‚ multibillion dollar industry. But solar’s share of the total energy market remains rather small‚ well below 1 percent of total energy consumption‚ compared with roughly 85 percent from oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal. Those fossil fuels cannot remain the dominant sources of energy forever. Whatever the precise timetable for their depletion‚ oil and gas supplies will not keep up with growing energy demands. Coal

    only that it’s available and plentiful. Electricity generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and natural gas‚ emits carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides -- gases scientists believe contribute to climate change. Solar thermal (heat) energy is a carbon-free‚ renewable alternative to the power we generate with fossil fuels like coal and gas. This isn’t a thing of the future‚ either. Between 1984 and 1991‚ the United States built nine such plants in California’s Mojave Desert

    We all see the sun light every day‚ once you step outside on a hot day you fell its power and how destructive and life giving it is. Solar energy is the energy of the future‚ the main problem we have is making sure it is efficient and cheap. It seems that it would be simple to capture the sun’s rays and make electricity‚ but the material that “captures” the rays is very expensive due to it having to be a really pure material; if we use materials that are not as “pure” the electric current can’t go
