WIND AND SOLAR POWER INVESTMENT SUMMIT : SUSTAINABILITY INVESTMENTS.
Wind And Solar Power Investment Summit
- Power obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun's rays
- solar energy: energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy; "the amount of energy falling on the earth is given by the solar constant, but very little use has been made of solar energy"
- Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies.
- Solar power is by far the Earth's most available energy source, easily capable of providing many times the total current energy demand. The largest solar power plants, like the 354 MW SEGS, are concentrating solar thermal plants, but recently multi-megawatt photovoltaic plants have been built.
- outer layer or covering of an organ or part or organism
- An act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result
- investing: the act of investing; laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit
- the commitment of something other than money (time, energy, or effort) to a project with the expectation of some worthwhile result; "this job calls for the investment of some hard thinking"; "he made an emotional investment in the work"
- The action or process of investing money for profit or material result
- A thing that is worth buying because it may be profitable or useful in the future
- The highest point of a hill or mountain
- The highest attainable level of achievement
- reach the summit (of a mountain); "They breasted the mountain"; "Many mountaineers go up Mt. Everest but not all summit"
- A meeting between heads of government
- acme: the highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development; "his landscapes were deemed the acme of beauty"; "the artist's gifts are at their acme"; "at the height of her career"; "the peak of perfection"; "summer was at its peak"; "
- peak: the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or hill); "the view from the peak was magnificent"; "they clambered to the tip of Monadnock"; "the region is a few molecules wide at the summit"
- Move in or take a twisting or spiral course
- Repeatedly twist or coil (a length of something) around itself or a core
- Pass (something) around a thing or person so as to encircle or enfold
- weave: to move or cause to move in a sinuous, spiral, or circular course; "the river winds through the hills"; "the path meanders through the vineyards"; "sometimes, the gout wanders through the entire body"
- a tendency or force that influences events; "the winds of change"
- air moving (sometimes with considerable force) from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure; "trees bent under the fierce winds"; "when there is no wind, row"; "the radioactivity was being swept upwards by the air current and out into the atmosphere"
SUMMIT
The summit of the 14,411 foot Mount Rainier as seen from a south-south-west direction.
The dark blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering (Rayleigh was a famous Brit, but that is another story). As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air and pass straight thru to warm the earth below.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. At higher altitude, there is less atmosphere to scatter this blue light so the sky is darker. In space, where there is no atmosphere to scatter/reflect this light, the sky is totally black.
Now you have completed your physics lesson of the day :--)
