Damn, if ONLY there was some way to harness all of that energy! No worries, I’m sure the government is all over a project that important, rest easy citizens.

Harness all the sun’s energy? That’s pretty greedy. Plus, that’s the amount of energy the sun creates, not what we actually see.

Ugh.
Can someone please double-check the spelling on the new posts before they make the site.
“that” does not = “than”

I’ve stopped worrying and learned to love the tyspo! Nevertheless, thanks for pointing it out, Bunny!

I am sure that corporations, politicans and scientists are working hard at this very moment to make this free energy available to everyone on this planet, rich and poor.

I’d be curious to know how much of that energy actually reaches the Earth. Either way, I’m sure it’s huge.

Take the total energy output of the sun, and divide it by the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 93 million miles (the formula is 4 times pi times the radius squared). Take that number and multiply it by the radius of earth squared times pi.
It’s a very small portion of the total output.

Harness the sun? Done.
