The Controversy of Harnessing Solar Energy

We often hear about solar cars, solar heating, and solar batteries. But will solar energy ever be a major source of energy for society?

Solar energy is cheaper than other fossil fuels because we can get an abundant source from the sun. In sunny desert areas, 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches the ground could be used to produce electricity for businesses and industry and to provide heat, light, and hot water for homes. Experimental solar pond can also produce hot water to drive generators.

Unfortunately, we can't yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be used effectively in bright light. Its greates potencial therefore is in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the year. But Unfortunately most houses solar power solar cells are need to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people can't afford them.

Needless to say, solar energy is a useful and non-pollution source of energy. Unfortunately, solar cells, the main device to harness the sun's energy are still very expensive.

Plus and Minus Credit Cards

Credit cards have many advantages as a means of payment. The most practical benefit of these magical plastic cards are that the cardholders don't need to carry cash. Our credit cards enable us to get cash in advence from an authorized bank or from an ATM. Yet, with all their benefits, having a credit card involves some risks.

It is likely to happen that cardholder tend to spend more money than he or she should, or can afford to. Cards come in handy when we busy on impulse. With a credit card, we can pay for things in an emergency without having to wait for our end-of-month paycheck.

Who isn't lured by the "buy-now-pay-latter" concept? Actually, when you use a credit card, you buy on credit, which means that you have to pay interest. And like all other bank loans, your debts will swiftly add up if you fail to make the regular mouthly payments.

The Advantages and The Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The debate of whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some people agree with the untilization of it because of its benefits. Some other, however, disagree because of its risks to the environment.
Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear is the only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energu needs. In their opinion, the order sources of energy: oil, coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewble and safe, while nuclear energy can be sustainably when produced in a safe way.
However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear products can completely destroy the environment and the human lives. A meltdown in a reactor, for example, usually results in the contamination of the surrounding soil and water. Take for example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Rusia twenty years ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.
It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endangers the environment but what about a less pollured energy instead of nuclear.

TSUNAMI

Tsunamis occur when a major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the Earth's crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

Thunamis wash ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning, and damage to property. A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsumani is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast-traveling wave grows very large.

in their own ways,
