Your Guide to Energy Smart Living
The sun represents an enormous nuclear reactor that converts its own mass into light particles or photons. Trillions of photons fill Earth’s atmosphere every second. The sun’s nuclear reaction consumes 4.2 million tons of mass per second. The Earth intercepts just 2 billionths of the sun’s energy output. On any particular day, 35,000 times the total amount of energy that people use reaches the surface of the Earth from the sun. If humanity could tap into a small fraction of {Read More}
The sun is at the helm of all life on the Earth. It is a virtually inexhaustible energy source that all living things, including us humans, need to grow and thrive. The sun converts its own mass into light particles known as photons. It charges the Earth with trillions of photons that fill the atmosphere each moment. The truth is, the sun supplies more energy in a single hour than all of humanity uses within one year. A French physicist {Read More}
Geothermal energy is the energy harnessed from steam and hot water enclosed in the Earth’s crust. The word geothermal is a hybrid word that comes from “geo”, a Greek word meaning “Earth,” and “therme” meaning “heat.” The term geothermal energy denotes the combined thermal energy below the considerably cooler and thinner surface of the Earth, constituting about 260 billion cubic miles (1012 cubic kilometers) of rock at melting temperatures. Geothermal energy is generated from the formation of the planet, decay {Read More}
