One more fact:

We don't have to worry about running out of Solar Energy, because it is the resource of Solar System, not of our planet. The solar energy (sunlight) travels to the earth in approximately 8 minutes from 93,000,000 miles away, at 186,282 miles per second.

One of the more interesting facts about solar energy is that the earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in a whole year. Solar panels have many uses such as electricity production and heating of water. Check out the different solar energy panels. Shell Oil predicts that 50% of the world's energy will come from renewable sources by 2040. Solar panels will play a big part in that. There are 2 types of solar energy, passive solar energy and active solar energy.

Yeah for people who can afford it! Solar energy does make a lot of sense, but we need to figure out a way to lower the cost like computers did when they first came out. Now 20 years later and there is at least one computer in almost every home because it is affordable.
