Small-scaled+Solution

The small-scaled solution to the energy crisis would be to regulate that individual households and motorvehicles must have solar panels installed and use solar energy as their main source of energy.While people may not be happy about having to change their way of life and switching to solar energy it is a necessity for the planet. Measures must be taken by the people to change the way the world is obtaining its energy and government regulations are the only way to enforce this.

Our proposal to start making solar energy a main source of energy for the world is to limit the amount of coal and oil used and increase the use of solar energy. This change would have to start on national levels but in time would lead to an entire global change in the countries that are capable of making this adjustment. Governments could regulate that households would have to get the majority of their energy from solar panels. One solar panel produces roughly 18% of the energy that a gallon of oil can produce. Households can determine how much energy they require and base this on how many solar panels they would require. Solar panels could also have to be introduced into the manufacturing of motor vehicles. In 2008 the amount of fuel consumed for motor vehicles was 170,765 million gallons. By introducing solar panels into motor vehicles this number would greatly decrease, helping not only the release of CO2 into the enviornment, but also reducing the amount of fuel that is used.

Individual households would also have to rely on getting their energy from solar panels. Households could have solar panels installed on top op their houses and power their households with them. One problem that may arise would be that some houses may not be in areas that conduct a lot of sunlight, making it difficult to power their house on solar energy. This is where the wide-scale solution would come into place.

Here is a picture of a solar car. As you can see it still maintains the appearance of a modern day car but runs on solar energy instead of fossil fuels.
