Solar Energy as the World’s Safest Future Clean Energy Source by Caroline Mutuku Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Energy supply and demand determine global development course in every sphere of human activity. Adequate supplies of clean energy have undeniably observable correlation with global stability, increased life quality and economic prosperity. The search of energy sources that can meet the fast rising energy demand in the planet remains to be one of the foremost challenges facing the society for the next five decades. Over the years, large-scale power plants have been noted to develop at an alarming rate, using large tracts of land across the globe. The ecological issues that are allied to the installation of such plants and the operation phases of the facilities are yet to be adequately addressed. In the operation phases, there are evident impacts that can be categorized in diverse groups, namely, land use intensity, plant and animal life, human health and well-being, climate change and Geo-hydrological resources. The significance of this invasive challenge, along with the baffling difficulty of solving it will require rigorous national and international efforts that marshal the most advanced technological and scientific potentials. One of these efforts can be considered as the application of substitutes to the use of non-renewable as well as polluting fossil fuels, solar energy being one of these main alternatives in this case, as will be explored in this paper. Solar energy is one of the renewable energy resources that have become an increasingly valuable method of diversifying energy options in the world because it does not generate pollution. Driven by increasing technological advancements, rising energy prices along with falling costs, projects of solar energy are increasingly being developed in numerous nations across the globe. Therefore, solar energy remains to be a compelling solution to human demand for clean and abundant energy source in the future, though it may contain some challenges too.

Solar by Tam Hunt Pdf

"This book shows the sizzling future of clean energy with enough enthusiasm to dispel the doom-and-gloom that paralyzes most discussions of climate change." Durwood Zaelke, President, Institute for Global Governance and Sustainable Development. "Today, solar is the fastest-growing source of renewable energy in America. That's not by fluke. Tam Hunt's new book offers important insights into solar energy's amazing success story-and why solar is so important to our nation's future." Rhone Resch, President & CEO, Solar Energy Industries Association (the largest U.S. solar industry association). "Of all renewable energy sources, solar is the most abundant and will play a major role in the conversion of the world's energy infrastructure to a clean and renewable one. Tam Hunt's book is easy to read and understand and is key for helping to educate the public and policymakers about solar's part in this energy revolution." Prof. Mark Jacobson, Director of Stanford University's Atmosphere/Energy Program. "Tam's new book is a readable and engaging look at the inter-twined solar, electric vehicle and battery storage revolutions, from an insider with over a decade of experience in policy debates and battles in California, one of the centers for developments in these exciting new fields." Terry Tamminen, Former Secretary, California Environmental Protection Agency, and current President of Seventh Generation Advisors. "Tam Hunt's new book, Solar: Why Our Energy Future Is So Bright, reveals that we are closer to solving our current energy crisis - getting off of fossil fuels before we roast the planet - than most of us have imagined. It is exciting to read such a technically grounded work of optimism." Daniel Pinchbeck, founder of the Center for Planetary Culture and author of Breaking Open the Head. Solar power is taking off as the price of solar is falling dramatically in the U.S. and around the world. We are not far from the point at which solar is so cheap that it becomes the default new power source in a majority of countries. This is what Tam Hunt calls the "solar singularity." When this occurs we will see grids around the world transform rapidly, helped by other technologies such as energy storage to store excess renewable energy and keep the grid stable. At the same time, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway, with many cheap and long-range electric vehicles coming in just a couple of years. These three technologies will roll forward together in the coming decades, creating a greener and more distributed grid. This book examines these ongoing revolutions in detail and also offers some insight for those looking to invest in this promising future. The solar singularity is nigh!
