Create Power from the Sun Using Earth4Energy
Copyright (c) 2008 Mason Tanner
The technology needed to generate power from the sun can be traced back to 1941 when Russell Ohl created the first solar cell. He already knew that electricity could be generated from the sun because the Physicist Antoine-Cesar Becquerel had already made that discovery. But he was able to apply new technologies to the knowledge attained by Becquerel. The need for solar power increases exponentially every year as can be seen by the recent success of Earth4Energy, an E-Book that was written in order to help people generate their own electricity using homemade solar cells and wind mills. This technology has been widely seen by many as impossible to implement for any practical purposes. However, today that is not the case as many come to understand that anyone can generate their own power. As governments fail to respond to combat environmental and consumer issues (skyrocketing prices etc...), people begin to realize that on a grass roots level they actually have the power to change the world does business. The way that electricity is produced is among the most destructive practices and as energy prices continue to skyrocket people desperately search for solutions. As many people know, calculators have been powered by the sun since 1978. All we need to do now is to think on a larger scale.
The biggest environmental argument for switching to alternative sources of energy such as solar power is to get away from coal fired power plants. In the South East U.S.for example, there is one every one hundred miles or so. Coal fired plants emit tons of CO2 and other toxins in the air. In addition to that, the process by which coal is extracted from the earth is among the most horrendous environmental calamities ever conceived by mankind. Mountain-top removal as is the process by which entire Appalachian mountains are entirely removed so that the coal underneath can be extracted. The destruction that is caused by this can never be repaired and life can never return to the affected area. Then the coal must be rinsed. The resulting toxic coal sludge makes it into the drinking water of many communities in Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Nuclear Power has long been seen as the solution to these problems. Solar power is a better choice because it has no drawbacks unlike nuclear power that creates radioactive waste. It provides just pure, clean and cheap electricity.
Additionally, there is a financial need that many have to lower their power bills which continue to rise. Just picture what it would be like if your house were energy independent. You would be furthering the Earth4Energy revolution which is already saved many people money and reduced our reliance on unclean sources of energy.
