The Sun’s Power

The nearest star the Earth has is the sun. Even if it is a million miles away from the Earth, its gravitational force holds it around its orbit. It transmits heat and light, which makes life on Earth possible.
Plants must have daylight to grow while creatures, including people, need food and oxygen from plants. Also, without the sun’s heat, the Earth would be all ice. There will be no breeze, sea currents, or even clouds.
Solar energy is as old as the sun. While human beings have not …

Green Molecules

More than half the power utilized in Europe comes from gases/molecules. In the future, the energy systems will replace these with sustainable and clean electricity. In 2050,  Europe will still need much energy in molecule form for non-electrified applications, balancing, heavy transport, high temperature, and etc.
Presently, Europe is investing a large amount of money in green gases, accounting for roughly 50 percent of the power mix in 2050. The cooperation of the existing infrastructure for heat, electricity, and …
