Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, or nuclear power This power could be provided by the sun One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for total population.

Many countries are already using solar energy Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the sun’s energy can be stored for a number a day, so on cloudy day you can use solar energy too.

Sweden has an advanced solar energy program There all buildings will be heated by solar energy and cars will use solar energy instead of gas by the year
