Background On An Alternative Source Of Energy
By John Mahoney
A way of changing the energy uses of the world has not been needed for nearly a century. The use of fossil fuels as energy in the first part of the 20th century was marked by the transformation of world cities with the use of automobiles and electric bulbs which replaced reliance on horses for transportation and gas lamps. However, the dependence on the fossil fuels has proven to be short-lived as fossil fuels are becoming harder to get and prices are soaring uncontrollably all over the world.

With people clamouring for cheaper fuels and most wanting a change in energy sources to be found, it would not be wrong to assume that a revolution in energy sources is on the brink. Knowledge and the application of it can help to provide inventions in this area; we have the technology to do so, but lack the way of keeping costs down due to high demand, decreasing resources and the monopoly only few people have over the resources. Also, many of the new energy sources that have been found (be it Hydroelectric, Thermal, Nuclear, or Fossil) are considered green due to the effects they have on the surrounding environments.

Thus what we need is a new energy source that is cheaper to produce and buy, will not run out and is green. One such energy source is Solar Energy. Solar energy is a practical alternative to the use of fossil fuels. It is also widely available, and is a low-impact resource and failing to take advantage of all that it offers would be a vast mistake for all future generations.
This site is all about Solar Energy for heating, which is a

priority in the UK and Ireland.

In Ireland, the total consumption of energy, not counting that used for transportation, is 2.5 million tons of oil each year. This is a quarter of the total energy consumption in Ireland. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, peat and natural gas is what provides the majority of this energy. Using these fossil fuels results in emissions of 11 million tons of carbon dioxide; this is the main contributor to green gas emissions.

Solar Energy – What is it?

Solar Energy is a radiant energy that is produced from the sun at very high pressure, causing nuclear fusion that results in a temperature that is in excess of 5000ÚC. This energy radiates out in the form of light and heat. Most of it reaches the earth in the form of light and takes approximately 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. Upon reaching the earth, a third of it is absorbed by the atmosphere. Using scientific calculations, it is approximated that the amount of solar energy that can be collected from each square meter of earth’s surface is the equivalent to one barrel of oil. This is an enormous amount of energy and it is free for the taking. Today, technology has invented solar panels that sit on rooftops and collect solar energy. This energy then is used for space heating, water heating and space cooling (such as desiccant evaporators and absorption chillers). Some of the systems that are available and are highly efficient include the Solar Thermal Concentrating Systems, parabolic troughs, parabolic dishes, central receivers and Photovoltaics.
