Fact 9: About half of worldwide production of solar panels is consumed by Japan. This is an interesting fact since Japan only takes up .3 percent of the world total landmass. The major reason behind it was simply matter of economic. In the last decade, electric price in Japan have been rising rapidly. Such increase in price was caused by many factors related to nuclear power plants. For instance, according to vamasa.org,... 

Fact 8: Solar energy is responsible for winds, ocean currents and other weather patterns. I know some of you just won’t take the simple answer above. For your sake and the sake of science, I like to dig deeper to find out how the whole process work. Winds: As the sun energy heats Earth’s surface, the surface heats the air above. The result of increase in energy will cause the air in the surrounding to move apart lowering... 

Fact 7: Solar energy can be collected and stored in batteries, absorbed and transmitted. Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy available to mankind. We will never run out of solar energy unless the sun dies. According to Wikipedia, there will another 7.8 billion years before the sun reach the next phase of evolution. This is the stage in which helium fusion will begin producing carbon and oxygen. By then,... 

Fact 6: According to Shell, 50% of the world’s energy will come from renewable sources by 2040. 50% of the world’s energy comes from renewable sources by 2040 seems like a bold claim. According to Wikipedia, the total renewable energy in 2004 only constituted 7% of the total energy produced. This percentage came from hydroelectric. Perhaps the 7% from hydroelectric can be further expanded. And within the 36 long years,...
