Humans Must Leverage the Sun. An immense amount of watts that stems from the Sun reaches the Earth each year. This amount of energy is measured in quadrillions.

Approximately half of Earth’s surface receives this energy each day. The Sun’s light, which is markedly comprised of radiation harmful to man and to man-made objects, is, thankfully, largely absorbed by Earth’s atmospheric layers.

The remaining sunlight that reaches Earth is responsible for the wonders of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a phenomenon that: 1) allows plants to grow for human consumption and 2) also allows for the renewal of oxygen in the air via the sequestration of carbon dioxide.

Imagine if the simplest of tools, such as solar panels in their most currently manufactured form, as well as in the form of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), could further add to the benefits of the solar energy that makes it to Earth.

The Vegan Digest views renewable solar energy as, likely, the most responsible way forward for mankind on Earth.
