Solar Power

Imagine you are still in the world of tomorrow.

Even our current photovoltaic cells are a huge step forward from the larger and much less useful photo electrochemical cells that were first developed over twenty years ago. Nuclear fusion and fission are not viable answers yet and hydro power may not have what it takes. 2 Many theorize that with a little more research and development a smaller and more efficient solar convertor can be made in the same sense that now we have batteries for our CD players that can hold much more energy inside than they could even five years ago. Solar power could grind our coffee, sharpen our pencils and make sure our homes are warm and toasty in the evening during the cold, winter chill on a Michigan snowstorm. Even luxuries like television are fully operable due to solar panels inserted into homes that slowly rotate 24 hours a day to ensure maximum amounts of sunlight are captured. This is one of the most prominent cases in the argument towards the research of advancements in the study of solar power. 1

Photovoltaic conversion is utilized in solar cells that can be easily installed in developmental cars. There are only two real reason why solar cells are not a perfect source for cars.

Some say that they are minor obstacles that can be easily overpowered. They other problem would be that they can not store power very well to be used later on days when there is little to no sunlight to be captured for driving purposes.

Another strong point made by activist that are pushing for further development of solar powered technology is that unlike fossil fuels, solar energy does not produce the same sorts of wastes that destroy our environment on a daily basis. The changes of a water powered car are not that good.
