Future Energy Solutions Are Renewable And Sustainable

With the recent rise in concern over the release of carbon dioxide into the environmentc and the decrease in the supply of fossil fuels for energy, scientists are in a constant search for renewable, sustainable energy solutions. This means that a lot of hours and energy is being put into the successful application of energy sources such as solar energy. Solar energy is at the apex of the list of these future energy sources because the sun is one thing that is not likely to go away any time soon or at least within our immediate lifetimes.

Also, the sun releases one thousand watts of energy per square meter. This energy is exactly the same all over the globe which is available to all of us and is a renewable supply on an ongoing basis.At the current time the problem with using solar energy on a high yield level required to supply large areas, is that at this point in time, the technology simply does not exist to adequately harness all of the solar energy and process it productively.
