We are constantly hearing more and more about the advantages of Solar Energy. Fossil fuels are getting harder to extract from the earth, stocks are falling and costs are going up around the globe. So, if fossil fuels and other energy sources were to run out now, would there be enough energy reaching the earth each day to fuel the mass demand of our domestic energy in our mega cities and metropelis´???
New technologies are advancing and it is increasingly becoming easier to harness the energy from the sun, but is this feasible? Does the Sun really produce enough free energy for us to fuel our massive demand?
The link below shows the BBC´s professor Brian Cox´s explanation of how much energy from the sun is sent to the earth each day. Make your own mind up on the questions above!
