Concentrating Solar Power Plants

The solar energy reaching the earth''s surface every year equals about 885 million TW h. This corresponds to 6200 times the primary energy consumed by mankind in 2008 and 3500 times the human energy demand expected for the year 2050 [].Although solar energy is the most abundant energy source on earth fossil energy is still dominating.

A major solar eruptive event in July 2012: Defining extreme space

1 Introduction [2] Recent studies show that spacecraft operational anomalies can occur under a variety of conditions [Lohmeyer and Cahoy, 2013] and often are associated with high-speed solar wind streams as the primary space weather driver [e.g., Lam et al., 2012].But one of the most pressing practical challenges confronting the space physics community is to

Anti-nuclear power movement in Japan

The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, a nuclear plant with seven units, the largest single nuclear power station in the world, was completely shut down for 21 months following an earthquake in 2007.

2020 Fatalities for US Roofers Increased 15% as Solar Roof

Currently, 2 million solar roofs that average 6 kw of power generation would be 12 gigawatts of solar power. This would generate about 12 terawatt hours of power each year. 10% of the 111 deaths in roofing deaths in 2020 is 11 solar roofing related deaths in 2020. This would be just short of 1 solar roofing death per 1 terawatt hour. In 2012
