What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research?

Our Groups topic is solar power, and the Question i am seeking To answer is this: What in essence is solar power and how does it work?
In essence solar power is the power that comes from the sun. The energy from the sun that reaches the Earth is said to have so much energy it could supply our energy demands 8,500 times over. The problem facing us is how to capture this energy cost effectively and efficiently. So far the main method to do this is with solar panels.

What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment. A great way to both save money and live greener would be to power businesses/homes with solar panels. I have a solar panel on the top of my house and it cuts our electric bill more than in half. I recommend everyone have solar panels installed.

What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations?

The world as we know it would end. The air would be to polluted to sustain life and carbon dioxide emmisions from cars and factories would overheat the planet and kill all life on earth. Worst case scenario.

What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations?

The world would prosper. We would have an energy efficient self sustained planet that would not run out of energy until the sun exploded.
