Humans Must Leverage the Sun
Publication #1
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.
Aptera Motors Corp.
Aptera Motors Corp. is a solar mobility company that leverages the immense watts reaching Earth to pioneer ultra-efficient transportation. As a public company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SEV, Aptera also operates as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), a status that legally binds its governance to balancing financial performance with social and environmental responsibility.
The company’s operations focus on the development and production of its flagship three-wheeled solar electric vehicle (sEV), which utilizes breakthrough aerodynamics and integrated solar panels to provide up to 40 miles of “free” solar-powered range per day. The firm is fundamentally rethinking how cars are made.
Unlike standard EVs that pull power from grids often reliant on carbon-emitting coal or natural gas plants, the Aptera sEV bypasses these “long-tailpipe” emissions by capturing energy directly from the sun. This allows for a truly carbon-neutral daily commute, even in regions where local utility grids still pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
