Teaching Solar Energy To Kids - Greenwith Primary School!
Teaching solar energy to kids is great fun! Why? Because they don't have the mental limitations we do. Greenwith Primary School kids came up with great ideas about solar energy and how to use it to improve our world. Toys, furniture, clothing, even lipstick didn't escape their well thought out ideas!
Economist Debate: Solar Energy
Sunlight is free. Turning it into electricity produces no greenhouse gases and the process is getting cheaper every year. These facts suggest solar power ought soon to be a big part of the world's energy mix. However, it is unavailable at night and is most efficiently generated in deserts—places where few potential consumers live and which are often (at least in the case of those near Europe) in countries with questionable governments. Can these problems be overcome? Or is solar power forever destined to be subsidised greenwash that is applied superficially to fossil-fuel-based economies to make them seem more environmentally friendly than they really are?
Hank explains the power of solar energy and describes how it may fit into our diversified energy future.
