Could This New Method Store Summer Heat For Winter?
The sun provides us with a ton of energy and researchers may have finally figured out how to store it using big drills, simple chemical reactions, and salt. If Green Energy Is So Great, Why...
========== If you could steal the heat from the sun-rich
summer and give it to the sun-poor winter,you could be the Robinhood of the worldâs
energy needs.Hey sunbeams, Trace here for DNews.Solar recently grabbed headlines when the
Department of Energy found solar power generationemploys more people than generating electricity
from oil, coal, and gas combined.In part itâs because of construction, but
also because solar workers do way more thanjust building solar panels⦠they also work
on thermal energy projects.The sun provides enough energy in about one
hour to power the entire planet for a wholeyear, and a lot of that is heat!Weâre actually pretty bad at leveraging
this free energy the universe gives us, butscientists are working to capture more of
it!For exam...
