Alternative source of energy (2)

In the post above, I gave an example of an alternative source of energy which Singapore is taking into consideration. Now I will give one which Singapore has already executed.

This alternative source of energy is solar energy. The Government has funded the use of solar energy through money for research and development. Generally, Singapore makes use of its tropical climate and high-rise buildings to her advantage. Solar panels can be installed on the top of such buildings like HDB flats, industrial buildings and condominiums, and can receive sunlight easily without any obstruction. Solar cars my be used, but it is not advisable as such cars usually cost a lot. It has been stated that the use of solar energy could be big if not for the use of oil and petrol for cars.

In conclusion, solar energy is something which can be used more often in the future, if we still have one, that is. Which just goes to show why we should start or continue using solar-powered appliances.
