DUDE YOU KNOW?!
Every second, the sun produces more energy than human civilizations have ever produced in history.
Indeed, every second, the sun produces about 400 trillion trillion watts of energy. That’s the equivalent of a trillion 1 megaton atom bombs!
It would take only around 0.3 per cent of the world's land area to supply all of our electricity needs via solar power.
The area of roof space available in Australia is enough to provide all of the nation's electricity, using solar panels.
The amount of energy that goes into creating solar panels is paid back through clean electricity production within anywhere from 1.5 - 4 years, depending on where they are used. This compares with a serviceable life of decades.
The Earth receives more energy from the sun in an hour than is used in the entire world in one year
Wind is a form of solar power, created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
The world's largest wind turbine is currently the Enercon E-126 with a rotor diameter of 126 meters. The E-126 produces 6 megawatts, enough to power approximately 5,000 European households.
The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880s
