Summary

Solar Energy explores the potential of solar power as a critical component of our future energy mix. It examines the science behind photovoltaic (PV) technology, detailing how sunlight is converted into electricity, and highlights the economic and environmental advantages of solar energy, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy security. Did you know solar energy is one of the fastest-growing energy sources worldwide?

 
The book emphasizes that while solar isn't a cure-all, it's a vital part of a sustainable energy portfolio when combined with supportive policies and technological advancements.

 
The book uniquely adopts a holistic approach, integrating technology, economics, environmental concerns, and policy considerations. It begins with fundamental concepts of solar radiation and PV conversion, progressing through PV technologies, economic and environmental benefits, challenges like intermittency, and concludes with future trends and policy recommendations.

 
Data from scientific studies, governmental reports, and case studies support the arguments, providing a balanced perspective on solar technology's strengths and weaknesses.

 
The book offers valuable insights for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in renewable energy and climate change mitigation, making it a practical guide to understanding and advocating for solar adoption.

    This book was inspired by my previous work of Science Fiction in: 'The Book To End All Books'. At the climactic conclusion of that book, I realized that we didn't have the 1,000 years I gave humankind to create a 2nd sun in the sky. We would be extinct by then and long buried in the debris of our own destruction. 
    So, I decided to put all the speculative knowledge that I had learned from my science fiction novel into use in this book in hopes that perhaps humanity would be wise enough to give it a try. We can do this. We can ignite Jupiter and create a 2nd sun. And, I also answer the question - Why would we do this? 
    Humanity has some major challenges to its continued existence that are caused by our technology. But now we have the opportunity to use our advanced space and rocket technology and our laser Fusion Reactor technology to combine them into a major project for the world to take on. 
    We can use our current knowledge of nuclear fusion and space travel to send a team to create a station on the four moons of Jupiter and shoot high energy red laser beams into the hydrogen core of Jupiter to ignite the gas giant into a 2nd sun in our sky. Don't worry - Jupiter is five times further away from us than our present sun, so it would not create any significant amounts of additional heat. It's also 1,000 times smaller than our 1st sun, so again, we have nothing to fear from increased heat. BUT, we would gain twice as much FREE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY from another sun and this could be utilized by both the Earth and Mars to save our species.

    A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .

    Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. It represents a revolutionary shift in the field of psychotherapy, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms, but to foster long-lasting change by helping individuals think and behave more rationally. The primary goal of REBT is to help people understand and identify irrational thoughts and beliefs that lead to emotional distress, then replace those beliefs with more rational, functional alternatives. 
    At its core, REBT rests on the idea that it is not the events themselves that disturb us, but our beliefs about those events. This concept is captured in the ABC model, a foundational element of REBT. According to the model, A stands for the activating event, or the situation that triggers a response. B represents the beliefs we hold about the activating event, which can be either rational or irrational. Finally, C stands for the emotional or behavioral consequences of those beliefs. By recognizing the link between beliefs and emotional outcomes, individuals can learn to challenge and change irrational thoughts that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors. 
    REBT operates on the premise that people often hold onto irrational beliefs that are unrealistic, extreme, and unhelpful. These beliefs can be categorized into three core demands: the demand for approval from others, the demand for fairness or justice, and the demand for achievement and success. These irrational demands fuel negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, and depression, leading individuals to feel powerless or inadequate.
