Alternative Energy Ireland
Energy is the ability to do work. While energy surrounds us
in all aspects of life, the ability to harness it and use it
for constructive ends as economically as possible is the
challenge before mankind. Alternative energy refers to
energy sources which are not based on the burning of fossil
fuels or the splitting of atoms. The renewed interest in
this field of study comes from the undesirable effects of
pollution (as witnessed today) both from burning fossil
fuels and from nuclear waste byproducts. Fortunately there
are many means of harnessing energy which have less damaging
impacts on our environment.
Solar energy is one the most resourceful sources of energy
for the future. One of the reasons for this is that the
total energy we receive each year from the sun is around
35,000 times the total energy used by man. However, about
1/3 of this energy is either absorbed by the outer
atmosphere or reflected back into space (a process called
albedo)
Solar energy is presently being used on a smaller scale in
furnaces for homes and to heat up swimming pools. On a
larger scale use, solar energy could be used to run cars,
power plants, and space ships. |
