Climate action.
-
What is the impact of solar energy and solar panels on climate change?
-
Meet Nick Nick basically lives on the Web.
-
He works from home, goes to school online, and in his free time, he loves to game.
-
Unfortunately for Nick, his neighborhood is on a bad power grid, and he loses power.
-
Even during the smallest storm recently, a hurricane left Nick without power for 10 days.
-
During this time, he wasn't able to work or do homework and is now backed up with both.
-
He looks up alternative energy sources to prevent this from happening again and learns more about solar energy and starts to consider putting solar panels on his house.
-
Nick isn't completely sure he wants to commit.
-
Installing solar panels can be very expensive.
-
Despite the cost, there are a lot of advantages of switching over to solar panels.
-
Not only does it pay for itself in the long run, but it also helps the environment.
-
Solar panels have a huge impact on climate change and keeping the planet free of harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
-
Basically, solar panels use the sun to generate power instead of burning non renewable resources like coal and natural guesses, the energy they created clean and they reduce the amount of climate changing chemicals into the air.
-
Also, solar panels create regional cooling by converting incoming solar energy to electricity by switching over to solar panels.
-
Nick is also helping to fight against climate change, which plays a role in all the storms that Nick hates so much.
-
Solar panels are the future of clean energy.
-
Using the power of the sun to power our homes keeps our planet clean in our future bright No, no, no.
