More Than Just a Greater Vancouver Area Trend
With the effects of global warming making headlines and jamming the news feeds, ‘solar energy’ is a highly popular discussion across Canada, throughout BC and especially in the Greater Vancouver Area. For no other reason than to be popular, many people are converting to solar. While that’s a good thing, to completely understand the significance of solar energy, its important to understand why it’s the one – and only – truly clean solution to global warming.
The following information is provided to you as a service from Futricity Solar to help educate you about the full value of solar power. However, if you already have a good understanding, or if you’re just anxious to get started, contact Futricity Solar. To learn more about our company, please visit our About Us page.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Importance of Clean, Renewable Electricity
If you follow the news – even a little – you are probably quite aware of the affects that fossil fuels and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are having on global warming and rapidly changing weather patterns around the world. Current studies indicate that if the increase in human related climate change isn’t stopped by 2035, we will likely cross the point-of-no-return; extreme and increasingly intense weather patterns will multiply.
With global warming in mind, huge numbers of industrial nations – Canada included – are initiating extensive climate reversing programs. And, with the world’s dependency for mass heating, transportation and manufacturing, it’s agreed that electric power is the only viable solution.
While hydro electricity is relatively clean and safe, it is limited by the number of rivers that can be dammed and the amount of land that can be sacrificed due to subsequent flooding.
Additionally, although nuclear power has been studied as a possible alternative, it is still widely considered as unsafe and unstable. Contaminated cooling water and fusion rods are difficult and unsafe to store, and it is agreed that, in the event of an accident, it is nearly impossible to clean up.
Solar Energy
A True & Viable Solution
Eliminating hydro electricity and nuclear power as possible long-term resolutions, the only true and viable, long-term solution to stopping GHG emissions and reversing the occurrence of extreme weather caused by GHGs is solar energy.
Everything You Need to Know About Solar
In mass, our Sun is over 1 million times larger than Earth. At any given moment, the Sun is generating approximately 3.86 x 1026 watts of energy. As a number, that would look like this: 386,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. You’d need to be a genius mathematician to understand a number that big. Translated into English the Sun’s energy equals three hundred and eighty-six septillion watts. Sun produces more than enough energy in one day to meet the power needs of the entire earth for an entire year. Most of us can’t comprehend that, but the point is this: The Sun’s energy is unlimited (at least for the next 7 billion years) and offers more than enough clean solar energy to power all of Earth’s humanly needs.
