Say NO to CLIMATE CHANGE
The case for Solar Electricity. Our reliance on fossil fuels has created possibly the most serious
problem facing the world. Global climate change can be
traced back to the increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels.
Scientists now agree that unchecked it will cause a global temperature
increase of between 2 and 6 degrees Centigrade over the next
century Most of our energy is currently generated by burning
fossil fuels The energy sources that do not generate CO2 are
nuclear, hydro, wind, geothermal, tidal, and solar. Nuclear energy has
left a legacy of radioactive waste, and its safety record shows that it
is not the answer. Globally, the potential of wind, hydro,
and tidal is ultimately far less than solar energy. The answer is worldwide adoption of solar energy from
photovoltaic cells. This will include not only photovoltaic (PV)
electricity, but also electrically-synthesised fuels - since these can
be transported and stored.
Organic and thin-film PV cells offer the hope of doing
this cheaply enough, with large scale production, and within the
necessary timescale of thirty years. We have had: visitors to this site, please bookmark it by pressing Ctrl+D.
