Fossil Fuel, Energy Warden, Page 4

If you are reading this article, you must be wondering is there an alternative to fossil fuels or not. Yes, there are many alternatives to fossil fuels. However, all those alternatives are not in a position to deliver the best possible results. Therefore, it is important to understand what the best fossil fuels alternative options are and then stick to them. We just need to look up for all our energy We have an abundance of energy if we wanted to, right above us in the form of solar energy which could be easily converted to electrical energy to power all our equipment and appliances. But we have failed to do so and have indulged in more expensive and detrimental methods to generate our energy requirements. If every home in our country could install solar panels for house wherever it would be we could pass on a cleaner world to the generations to follow. Our callous attitude is not only ruining our world but leaving carbon footprints to all generations that would follow. We need to do something about it and soon, if we are not to be cursed by our children and grandchildren. Among the energy source alternatives alternative energy sources for fossil fuels, solar energy has received a lot of attention. It deserves the first place in the list of fossil fuel alternatives as well. Therefore, we thought of giving more priority towards solar energy generation. We should have concentrated our efforts to develop the ultimate solar panel which would be able to convert the optimum quantum of solar power from the maximum amount of solar energy. We have still failed to do so, as the most advanced solar panel that we have developed up to now is able to convert only 20% of the solar energy it receives into solar power. We have been giving step-motherly treatment to solar power whilst spending billions to harness fossil fuels and to delve into the more dangerous nuclear option. Are we doing enough? Scientists and researchers are now desperately looking for the answer, but have still not succeeded and that is whilst everyone is hoping that they will develop the most appropriate solar panel technology in the near future, to bring solar energy for your home. If we had given more thought to this aspect decades back we would not be in this predicament today. Fossil fuel prices are rising and dropping without anyone having control over it. Politics do sometimes play its part but is not an argument that holds water all the time. It is also known that the world’s oil reserves will run dry in a couple of hundred years. Solar power from solar energy is the answer for the future but are we doing enough and that is what is worrying those who know that mankind is dabbling with the unknown especially trying to look at the nuclear option whilst the Sun shines with all its abundance in energy from the top. The Sun and us The Sun has shined one Earth since the beginning of eternity and provided us the right to live on this resplendent planet. We must be ever grateful for its existence because if not for its multiple benefits life on Earth could be impossible. The Sun provides us day and night, the seasons, the weather patterns, the tides, gravity, and many more. We have still to procure the optimum from the Sun, but due to our callousness have been unable to reap all the benefits that it offers. Everything that it offers comes free and we need only to develop a few contraptions to obtain its full benefits. The most valuable single thing, monetary wise that we could get from the Sun could be solar power. Mankind has been and is spending a colossal amount on using various raw materials to generate our energy requirements. Without a proper energy regime we would not be able to run our industries, our transportation, or keep ourselves warm during the harsh winters and that list is endless. The Sun provides light and heat radiation right through the year during the day to every inch of land on earth. This valuable source of energy has still not been tapped to its optimum level, with all the technology we have developed over the last century or so. It is hoped this would improve with the Research and Development (R&D) that is presently underway in most laboratories around the world. We should be manufacturing the ultimate in solar systems installation within the next few decades. A Solution Like None Other to Fossil Fuels As long as we have the Sun providing us solar energy, we can confidently spend time and money to find the best answers in the future. We know that the Sun is cooling down, but that would be in a few billion years hence we need not have any anxieties about that happening in the near future. Our priority should be to find the answers soon and develop the best solar power installation before it is too late. It is the prerogative of every scientist and developer to put all the resources at their disposal to ensure that mankind wins the battle to ensure we have all the Sun’s energy working for us. There are trillions of joules of energy being dispensed by the Sun annually and we just need a small fraction of that to run all our industries, equipment and appliances. The big question is why the industrialized countries are lagging behind in this endeavor when it is blatantly seen as the best alternative for mankind. Fossil fuels would not last long and there are indications that substantiate findings that they would exhaust in another 200 years or thereabout. We need to ensure that every stakeholder in the energy sector put in their might to harness the Sun’s energy for the betterment of mankind everywhere.
