Nova (Television program) Saved by the sun

Solar power has long been effective for small electronic devices. But as worldwide demand for electricity increases, so too does the burning of fossil fuels; contributing to global warming and dangerous climate conditions. This is forcing governments and scientists to look to clean energy sources and to revolutionise power production.

  • "NOVA explores what it would take for solar energy to become a real player in the energy game. The program: -looks at the use of photovoltaic panels in homes and describes how they work and how some people are benefiting financially by using solar power. -notes that increased energy demands, dwindling global fossil fuel resources, and heightened public concern for global warming all contribute to the need for alternative energy sources like solar energy. -presents the challenges of maintaining power during the summer in Los Angeles and explains that cities currently rely on fossil fuel power plants to survive. -profiles the Kramer Junction Solar Electric Generating System in the Mojave Desert, the largest solar thermal power plant in the world. - examines how solar power became a mainstream energy source in Germany. -explores innovative business models that are supplying solar energy to companies like Whole Foods. -reports on solar research being conducted at the National Research Energy Laboratory in Colorado, including multi-junction solar cells that were used on the Mars rovers. -introduces research that draws on nanotechnology to make solar power more affordable. -concludes by noting that while most of the promising solar energy options will take years to come to the market, decisions need to be made now regarding future energy options."

  • "In Saved by the Sun, NOVA poses the burning question: Can solar power help save the Earth from the ravages of global warming? In the face of steeply rising oil prices and political turmoil in the Middle East, their's new urgency and enthusiasm for finding ways to make solar power more efficent and affordable. From individuals installing solar panels on their roofs to industrial-scale projects in the Mojave desert featuring massive arrays of mirrors, solar power in gaining ground in the U.S. And in Germany, the world's leading developer of solar power is on track to produce 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Breakthroughs in nanotechnology could make solar's future even brighter. NOVA presents a provocative mix of scientists, economists, and ordinary citizens who are all pushing the envelope of solar power's untapped potential."@en
  • "As oil prices continue to rise steeply and political turmoil increases in the Middle East, it is increasingly evident that finding a solution to an uncertain energy future is one of the biggest issues of our time. With advances in science and engineering, new materials and ingenious designs for solar collectors are transforming the technology into a vastly cheaper, more efficient alternative. This episode of NOVA presents the latest thinking from solar enthusiasts and skeptics as it investigates cutting-edge research developments. The film interviews scientists and businesspeople who are racing to make solar power practical--for lighting, heating, and running power plants."
