As the world grows older, many new young inventors and scientists create new methods to make the world a safer and more sufficient place. There are many new methods for generating energy such as: wind, geothermal, biomass, and solar energy. Solar energy is the radiant energy emitted by the sun, which after being processed is used as solar power. Solar energy is also an example of electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation travels to the earth in various wavelengths, most of which are invisible to the human eye like gamma or ultraviolet rays.
The nuclear fusion in the sun produces solar energy. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy. This type of energy is very sufficient and ‘clean’ for the earth because its only machine is the sun and the light that it provides and the heating of the surface of the earth or any object on it, such as a solar panel. Solar energy is constantly flowing, from the sun, through outer space and the solar system, and onto the earth. It is also the cause for wind and other changes in the weather, as well as upholding the innate life of animals and plants. Since, solar energy is so inventive and efficient there is a very high supply and demand for solar energy products.
Solar energy products can range from solar panels to cell phone charges, and everything in between. Solar energy is becoming a popular way to fuel homes throughout the United States. All over the country, people are covering their rooftops with solar panels, heating their pools with solar energy, and even turn on the lights in their homes with solar energy. Solar power is quickly becoming America’s most popular form o...

...iverse, we should not be seduced into worshiping the moon, the stars or the sun because God gave them to all the peoples of the earth. The new methods of generating energy are great, and solar power is a very enticing method; but we should not worship this invention. Solar power is a gift from God, along with everything that it provides, so when we are admiring such things we should not forget Who gave them to us.
