Using Solar Energy Equals to Wasting Energy

Perhaps in your Science or Geography lessons, you have learned solar energy is one of our alternative energy resources. By detecting the sunlight by the panels, then there are some process turning the light to electricity. Nevertheless, you have to change your good thoughts towards solar energy now!

Solar energy regarded as one of the alternative energy resources. Unlike the others, it is light and easy to use. Even if you put them on the roof of your house, it doesn’t matter. And it provides you free electricity every day.

If I were the environmentalist, I would also choose solar power for alternative use. It requires a very small piece of land and can generate a splendid amount of electricity of the citizens. For the environment, if you can find a vacant land but it is sunny all the time, it won’t disturb the marine life or the organisms on land. No pollution produced in the processes. Nevertheless, if I were one of the governors, I would absolutely reject this project. Do you know why?

In fact there is a dirty reality behind solar power. Recently, Tony Blair and the film star Jet Li announced an ambitious plan to bring modern, clean power to the poor. Now I won’t spend time on telling you which regions can enjoy this privilege. (If you want to know more about that, you can search the mews article on the search engines.) In fact, do you know how to produce these solar panels? They are only 1 metre by 1.5 metres each, but they have to burn more than 40kg of coal to produce one.

What would Blair and Jet do if they know that? Will they recommend installing these panels anymore?

I don’t know the answer. For you, you may think 40 kg is not a enormous number. Yes, you are right; 40 kg is not a big number. In fact, the resources supply is a lot more than this number. But, do you know this 40 kg of coal can be generated 130 kilowatt-hours of electricity? It is absolutely enough for using 30 years. But the design of this kind of solar panels just last for 20 years!

Making this kind of solar panels is not a bad idea. It can improve the living standard of the poor. At least, they can do housework at light. They can study at light. And they can enjoy using free electricity. But is it a good method? Rationalize thinking is a must. If only can improve their living standard, but waste the resources of people around the world, it becomes unreasonable!

    Hello
    I have set up a petition on the Number 10 Epetition website. It is a challenge to all polititians : PROVE ME WRONG. If you agree with the two statements below please use the link provided to sign up. If you dont believe it please just put ‘the emperor wears no clothes’ into google read the evidence and make an informed decision.

    1. The hemp legislation enforced in the world today, and since the 1930’s, has caused more death, destruction and environmental damage than any decision by any politition or humanbeing in history.
    2. Putting hemp BACK in its rightful position as humanities number one crop, raw material, fuel,food,and medicine ( as it had been since pre-histiry and in parts since the dawn of mankind), has the very real and possible potential of not just slowing down global warming, but actually REVERSING IT!!!

    But how? You ask. Well for a start it is one of the worlds fastest growing plants and produces more fibre, seed/oil, cellulose than any other crop and its a green manure, so it actually puts goodness back into the soil, and needs no fertiliser or pesticide. In 1941 Henry Ford had IN PRODUCTION the worlds first ‘petrol engined’ car; its bodywork, dashboard, seat covers, plastic fittings etc, wre made from hemp and it ran on methanol from hemp. It is the only single plant food source that a humanbeing can live on -indefinitely- and contains all the essential omega’s in the perfect ratio for us!

    Too good to be true? Or too good for the oil industry, pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals, not to want to misinform about, conceal and scapegoat.

    Politicians and others in power refuse to address this issue with anything even approaching, honest, informed, rational and balanced intentions and debate. Due to this, it is my intention to continue feeding the birds, best quality cannabis sativa – hemp seed – wherever I go, and to continue to give bags of the seeds to anyone who wants them, to do with them as they will.
    Yours Mark A. Chapman

    This is very interesting Thomas…I am going to reseach it more. This reminds me of ethenol fuel alternative…it takes way too far of resources and energy to offset it’s benefits, including having less corn available to feed the world. This solar techology is probably the same type of stuff that these geniuses like Al Gore aren’t telling us – while they are cashing in on billions of dollars; reminds me of the oil companies.
