The sun is the one energy source thatsustains and links all life.
Ancient societies paid homage to the sun as a symbol of truth, justice and equality, as the fountainhead of wisdom, compassion and enlightenment, as the healer of physical and spiritual maladies, and, above all, as the source of fertility, growth, renewal and peace with nature.
Solar energy takes many different forms. The heat of the atmosphere, derived from absorbed solar energy, powers the winds and the cycle of evaporation and precipitation. Wind energy can be harnessed with turbines, just as running water from rain and melting snow is the energy source for hydroelectric power. The wind blowing across oceans and lakes transfers some of its energy to the water below to form waves which, like the tides,may generate power.
