Is Solar Power Actually Sustainable?
This isn’t a question of the sustainability of the power source, ie., the sun. Obviously, there’s no concerns there. But the sun’s radiative energy doesn’t just spontaneously provide power to switch on the lights, it requires some pretty specific, technical hardware. And one thing we all understand, is that anything we humans produce has a usage expiration date. So today, let’s take a look at solar power and sustainability.
Read moreThe best place for a solar farm is the desert, right?
Today we’re talking about solar arrays, or farms. In order for them to generate enough energy to scale for widespread utility usage, they need land, and lots of it. But land is a precious commodity itself. So when we talk about building enormous solar farms on masses of uninhabitable desert, it seems like a no-brainer, right? Unfortunately, not quite…
