The+Problem+At+Hand

==The Problem At Hand ﻿ ﻿﻿ What is the problem at hand? Most people would say the problem is global warming ( the increase in green house gases causing the earths atmosphere to be clouded and global climate to change), but to me, Global warming was just a good excuse to increase research in alternate energies. Regardless if GLobal warming is an international scam or complete truth, the need to make more efiecient sourcse of renewable energy will always be prevalent. So, the problem at hand is how to maximize what is already around you and make the most profit. The answer then becomes SOLAR POWER .  Solar Power takes the constant flow of energy from the sun and converts it to useable electricity. So why aren't these panels every last place you look? There are a few simple reasons in my opinion, first being solar energy is a new technology, and the seecond is that engineers are still on the verge of many other technological breakthroughs. The reason a new technology would hold back the expansion of solar power is that every couple moths, cheaper and more effecient ways of harnessing the sun emerge. Who would want to foot the bill for somthing that could be outdone in less than a year? in the next few years i hope that somone can hurry up and make a cheap practical way to install all of these panels and start generating power for homes world wide. Every second the suns rays pass by us each day is a penny lost, and in this world, money rules.  The second problem solar energy faces comes about because global warming is an international "fad", so the worlds best engineers are at work to produce new techniques of harnessing alternate power. They have invented things like hydrogen fuel cells and wind farms, to help cut back on carbon emissions. Each time a new method is discovered it takes away from the chances of a company using Solar Energy. Although the answer to maximizing your profit does not just lie in the hands of Solar Power, I fully believe the world should start with Solar Power. The panels take more than a lifetime to degrade and loose efficiency, hence why there used on satellites that are orbiting us as you read this. Put a few panels on top of your facilities and start letting them pay for themselves, the sit down and find other options. By the time the perfect solution is found, the panels should be almost ready to churn out a profit.

﻿ Cars could be driving aroudn harnessing solar power and reducing the "horrid" emissions that might be destroying our planet. Houses could be self efficient generating their own power, cutting all the big power plants out of the picture. Cell phones could even one day charge themselves. So really what is the problem at hand? Is it that global warming is destroying our world? Or is it that we are just letting all of the suns rays escape our power hungry grasp each day, without our own pricetag placed neatly ontop of them. ==
