Here&#8217;s the main idea &#8211; a incredibly loooooong and super-lightweight black plastic garbage bag is filled with air and allowed to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Solar energy (power) refers to collecting this energy and storing it for another use, like driving a car.  The sun blasts 174 x 1015 watts (which is 174,000,000,000,000,000 watts) of energy through radiation to the earth, but only 70% of that amount actually makes it to the surface.  And since the surface of [...]]]></description>

What is &#8216;Alternative Energy&#8217;?
Solar cells, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants (like the Hoover dam) are all examples of alternative energy sources.  Although lots of folks still argue about what&#8217;s considered &#8216;alternative&#8217; or not, the general idea is that the sources produce the same energy at less [...]]]></description>
