Point Counterpoint Rebuttal Essay (Solar Power Energy) Solar Power Energy are the energy that is obtained from sunlight. The energy from the sun can be converted into electricity and heat. Which has been used by humans for a very long time since the 1830s, when the British explorer “John Herschel” used a solar thermal collector device to absorb sunlight and to collect heat for cooking during his expedition in Africa. Though, there are both advantages and disadvantages to solar power energy. As there are both advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy, the main benefit is that there are very limited impacts on the environment. As solar energy systems do not produce air pollution or carbon dioxide, so the amount of fossil fuel used reduces. Solar power energy can also be used in two different ways as heat source and as an energy source, which means that it is a renewable source of energy. However, there are some people that believe solar power energy is bad. The negative point deals with the amount of sunlight as it is not constant depending on location, time, and weather conditions. The solar power also can not be used at night as there are no sunlight at night, which means that during day time the solar panels can not be installed or put on an area where there are tree shadows covering the area. But I believe solar power energy is good because humans have been using solar energy for their everyday lives such as heating, cooking, drying clothes, etc. And solar power is a source of energy which is environmentally friendly for the nature and for the whole community. By reducing the use of fossil fuels, it reduces the amount of carbon dioxide and air pollution, so there are less greenhouse gases that will affect the global warming and the climate. However, there should be a strategy of saving energy during the daytime invented and apply so there
