Our domes use energy to be a comfortable, living place. We have known this before script arrived, left or was invented. Build a terra-cotta home, with no more than what is found on the ground and the heat of the sun to solidify it, and yet resources continue to be available for improvement of the home. The word terra-cotta literally translates to cooked earth, generally applied to architecture with multiple earth products besides the dense ornamental clay that makes terra-cotta pots, vases and ovens developed later in history.
It is very simple. The history of energy in large human populations has told us of the last 10 centuries, in which, because of very harsh, cold, extreme conditions, mostly the Northern Hemisphere, but also the regions near the South Pole of the globe began burning anything flammable, from wood to coal, to gas and oil. Fire had long been managed by humans, but because of a brief extreme geological period of time, perhaps a single given continent-wide storm, much unlike the change of extremities which had occurred slowly, over the scale of preceding from many years and extending to many years, Fire now had to be continued above all other priorities, even above diet, already largely scant in the storm, absent of seasons as it was.
Given the situation, all those flammable materials were sought and burned without the consideration for food, or even shelter. Centuries of confusion deprived the populations of resources because of a single geological event greater than the humans there concerned had ever witnessed or were willing to face naked unto surrender or alliance. The defeat was instant, and mercy the only enduring refuge, extracted laboriously by self-induced torture because of whatever emotions those humans would not embrace, afraid, surprised, shy of knowing their inherit natural dependencies.
Anyhow, here we are now, with sunshine-absorbing, collecting energy panels and electricity. Despite the very informative and assuring graphic provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Solar is not yet listed as its own source, despite its enormous potential in the continuous prospect renewable energy offers,
The fact that transportation is using most of the energy offered by petroleum is no indicative of why solar energy could not be and is not (somewhere not captured by the statistics; probably at the individual measure) its substitute. Travel has no limits if provided for with the right resources. But the wrong resources will not endure and will cause extended problems upon an already established settlement or journey (even if previously and carefully calculated, as was the initial cause of any unhealthy livelihood sprung by the extreme, bewildering geological event chained to more catastrophic events of famines, wars, violence and crimes in the last few centuries of the history of energy, all to reach for an already conceded comfort and abject to the continuous improvement of such comfort under yet again varied conditions).
What is happening today, that the panels are not really being put to their correct use? The sun is plentiful; it is not the panels which require an elevated rate of absorption. The technology has already been improved over a period of decades, along the development of all other sorts of technologies too. There are people that require no more technological development, and that should be including you in the stats too. The reason is simple, the sun is really very very powerful. A minimal absorption of its power will already endure for a long period of time if you apply it at an environmentally consistent rate. But besides that, you cannot simply neglect the entire mechanism after it has been set up. The environment is continually changing. It was that very assumption of non variant constancy which caused the disaster spanning centuries. After the mechanism is set, it is very much like a living organism, like the fish in your aquarium, the dog in your yard, or your mom in the room. It's the sunshine on your roof. Anything that interacts with the environment is a varying structure which requires careful and regular attention if you are to keep it in your property for your benefit. The dog has to be fed, get some water, exercise. The fish also. Your mom too. So does your solar panels, although it is not really a biological being as the others, but a geological being. Its skin is very sensitive, it's directly exposed; no hairs, no scales. Just the pores as any piece of matter and its unique content of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, variant as it interacts with the environment. To maximize its functions, to keep it healthy and increasingly improving its efficiency, without buying a new set, without upgrading them or having them upgraded, just like you would with all the other beings you keep in your property, there is a simple technique. Feeding and watering the technicians have already instructed you how to do so the thing doesn't decay and become a problem in need of your entire settlement or journey, you check on its functions, clean it as needed, adjust its position. The key, which science has neglected to include in its commercial beneficence, is to know how powerful the sun is that day according to the atmosphere (wind, humidity, shade), which is so variable during a single day that no machine can be built for, except your own very desire, like taking the dog to the park for the whole hours that it really needs. Upon being observant of the sun, exercising the panel happens by clothing it and unclothing it for extended or varying periods of times. Let direct sunshine get to them for one hour, then let their pores rest for some time, perhaps for another hour, with a reflecting cloth or shade so they can learn with the atmosphere of your property (the minerals have been removed of their original protected locations), then remove the cloth again for one more hour, then cloth it again. After learning carefully about your panels for a week or two, its patterns of exercise, just as you would with a dog (does it like to stride for long period of times? does it like to walk slowly? does it like to stride and walk alternatively? does it like to stride for long period of times in only a few streets, perhaps circularly, or repeating corners? does it like to stride for a long period of time at an always greater distance, with always new corners?), unique for so many reasons and inherit characteristics (historical background, nationality, sensory preferences, ideal diet, language preferred, and so), then it becomes easy to thrive with it thriving too, as your life becomes enhanced in quality and theirs also. The life of minerals may not be biological, but is a crucial element of the biological environment, and therefore has also to be comprehended as life, and for all of our mutual, common benefits I render it geological life.
Take care of your mineral sunshine energy-absorbing collecting panels as you do with your own life. Enjoy being healthy and sovereign, call it wealthy if you like, as you include such unique forms of geological and biological life in your regular or in your leisure schedules.
