What is the greatest source of energy? Well everyone should know, but not everybody heard about Noor Solar Panel.
Well it is a power station, the largest solar complex of its kind in the world based in Morocco.
Half a million mirrors at the edge of the Sahara Desert. The heliostats track the sun as it moves through the sky and focus all its energy down on the tower. And this energy goes out into the world and power modern civilization
Basically everything that keep us safe, working and entertained comes from electricity and more and more of that electricity is coming from solar power plants like this.
But humans use only a tiny fraction of all that energy available from the sun.
430 quintillion joules of the sun’s energy fall on the earth EVERY HOUR. For a simple comparison, that’s very roughly 2.000 HIROSHIMA bombs every second. But the question is…
HOW MUCH DO WE USE?
Humanity uses 410 quintillion joules in a year. So in a year, we fail to use all the energy that the sun sends us in a single hour.
According to astrophysicist, any truly advanced civilization will be able to harness all its energy directly from the stars.
