Renewable Energy Applications: Solar Light, Solar Cooker and Solar Air Conditioning
Clean energy is what everybody is talking around. The idea is to replace, at least partially, society’s dependence on oil and carbon as a source of energy. This objective is being accomplished by using different renewable energy resources such as sunlight, wave power, eolic energy, and production of biofuels. But, what can we do to contribute to this clean energy usage movement. Maybe, we can start to use different gadgets that incorporate the idea of using alternative renewable energy resources. Here are some of these gadgets that you can start using.
