Solar Energy – Saved By The Sun
Excellent video reviewing and bringing right up to date all forms of
renewable energy including solar thermal, photovoltaics, wind, geothermal,
etc.
This is a very timely film. . . energy is one of the biggest issues of our time. This film opened my eyes to what is happening in the world of solar. . . the technology, the costs, the obstacles, what’s coming in the future. This really should be seen by a lot of people, including our elected officials and in schools. The info about solar in the Mojave desert and in Germany is amazing.
Solar Energy: Saved by the Sun is a DVD episode of the acclaimed public television documentary series that seeks to answer the question: can solar power help save the Earth from the depredations of global warming? Caught amid rising oil prices and turbulence in the Middle East, the possibilities for making solar power more efficient and affordable range from individuals adding solar panels to their roofs to industrial-scale projects in the Mojave desert using massive arrays of mirrors. Germany is the world’s leading developer of solar power, seeking to provide 30 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020. Nanotechnology advances could further enhance solar power’s potential in the future. A captivating, enlightening, and ultimately hopeful viewing experience, highly recommended. 56 minutes, color.
