A powerful green initiative has been launched by India and China as quoted by an article in The Straits Time newspaper from Singapore. China and India has led the world in renewable energy by getting bids to build Solar Power plant as a way to generate cleaner and greener source of energy. So what exactly is the finding on this case. Let review them now.
If the plan to build up one flies off, we can expect these solar plants to generate 100,000 megawatt of electricity, same output from 200 coal burning power station or 100 nuclear plants. Imagine the amount of carbon compound emitted to the atmosphere by these non-solar plants. It will sure keep on rising our atmosphere temperature and global warming symptom is deteriorating every second. If all these non-solar plants are gone, we can truly enjoy clear sky every day and fresher air too.
The technology behind these solar plants adopt either photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal. Most countries uses solar thermal as it uses cheaper polished metal mirror to reflect sunlight into fluid as compared to PV that uses expensive special grade silicon cell panel to convert sunlight into electricity. China and US prefer PV while others like India uses solar thermal.
No matter what technology is used, I'm already thrilled by the proposal of many countries to adopt solar power plants as a future primary source of electricity. It is definitely an applausible effort towards making our Mother Earth a greener place to live in.
