Solar Energy Fun Facts

By admin, January 23, 2010 2:25 pm

Im looking for the fact of the green energy?

For example:

Solar energy:
-Ten minutes of solar energy on a 2square ft plate, can generate 1000 of 30watts light ball for 10 hours. ( i just made this up, but i really want to know about it !!)

Wind Power, geothermal power, Hydrogen power..etc.
any FUN fact is good.

I do not want any fact like this——> How much is 3 hours of sunlight on one square meter of a solar collector worth if we’re talking about heat? Well 1KWH = 3400 BTU so 3KWH = 10,200 BTU. Since one gallon of fuel oil contains 150,000 BTU 10,200 BTU’s are the equivalent of .07 gallons of fuel oil.

“”" Who understand this ??? so confuse!!!”"”
i want something is easy to understand, like how many hours can a light ball last for 1hr of wind power. something like that !!!

our main source of electricity in the US is electricity that we burn from coal or other fossil fuels. this means we are letting out carbon dioxide that was in plants millions of years ago. and the more we burn the worse our planet becomes. but there is a solution and it works and the french have done it for 60 years now and it makes up 90% of the electricity they make, and they have had 0 accidents with this. heck every country that uses this type of energy (except russia) have had 0 accidents. when people hear nuclear power they think of something dangerous and will give there children three heads. but really it is very safe because we keep such a close eye on it. i put it in perspective. 1 gram of uranium has enough energy to power your house for your entire life. birth til death. if people just realize this the US, no the entire WORLD stopped burning coal and used nuclear energy. the US only uses 20% nuclear but that can be easily changed to replace our coal burning addiction. spread the word, this needs to happen.
