This same Nobel prize winner also wants to paint roads and roofs white to reflect sun heat away from earth to reduce global warming.
FORBES: NRC: Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant 'Good to Go' for 20 More Years
The big red-grape-growing regions of South Australia, such as Coonawarra and the Barossa Valley, get enough sun and heat to ripen the fruit every year.
As a comet gets closer to the sun, the sun's heat causes these elements to melt, spewing out dust and gas in a brilliant tail.
BrightSource generates electricity using an approach called concentrated solar power, in which computer-controlled mirrors, known as heliostats, focus the sun's heat to boil water and turn a steam turbine.
It is, first, an account of the many ways in which people have sought to produce energy by burning fossil fuels, harvesting the wind, brewing biodiesel and trapping the sun's heat.
While ice reflects around 80 percent of the sun's heat, having a cooling effect, blue sea water can absorb up to 95 percent of solar radiation, warming up the sea and accelerating the melting process further.
But I have to say the fact that "In the Heat of Sun" was not released in the U.S. market was a loss for the American audience, because I went to the San Francisco Film Festival with this film.
When I made my first film, "In the Heat of the Sun, " I was also 30.
Heat from the sun boils water to run a steam turbine generator, which delivers power to the grid.
Within the first few days of installation, the plastic slats started to droop from the heat of the sun.
The heat of the sun certainly feels powerful, and we all know that sunlight can be converted into electricity.
FORBES: Solar-Powered Cars? Clean Energy Hype Needs a Sober Dose Of Reality
With the help of its carbon dioxide, the atmosphere acts like a greenhouse that traps the heat of the sun.
So they would cool the Earth by hanging around and by reflecting more heat from the sun back into space.
This is a consequence of darker surfaces absorbing more heat from the Sun rather than reflecting it back out into space.
We're using more and more carbon-based fuels, generating greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) that trap heat from the sun in our atmosphere.
After talking to constituents, perhaps they will be keen on the idea that the heat of the sun, instead of making everybody sweat, could help power the air conditioner.
One of these changes, which would promote global warming, is a rise in the level of so-called greenhouse gases (particularly carbon dioxide) which trap heat from the sun and thus warm the air.
Similarly, solar thermal energy--which harnesses the heat of the sun to generate steam-powered turbines--consumes more than 2, 600 liters of water per megawatt hour, 200 liters more than coal-powered generation needs to produce the same energy.
On our first afternoon, we opted to walk rather than ride, so, as soon as the heat of the sun began to diminish, we set out into the bush accompanied by eight or nine elephant and several guides (including one with a rifle).
Once the heat of the sun has dissipated a little, head back for a stroll of the Bateen shipyard (open daily except Friday), close to the Intercontinental hotel, where traditional teak dhows are still assembled, and techniques date back centuries, though dhows for racing or pleasure are today more common than the trading boats of the past.
Under the heat of the Mexican sun, I watched the guys pluck their strings.
The sun also provides much of the heat for Gary Konkol's house in chilly Hudson, Wis.
In the Olympic stadium, you sat on a grassy bank under the searing heat of the midsummer sun.
Young and old, men and women worked from sun up to sun down, through the summer heat and bitterly cold winter.
Once the sun and planets took shape, heat became readily available in the form of solar radiation, asteroid impacts, and gravitational pressure.
If these could penetrate the air as the sunshine does, they could carry off much of the heat provided by the sun.
As I declined his offer, I observed his tattered disposition in the heat of the Lagos sun as he moved to the next patron.
We began our slow ascent through the shallows of the first group of waterfalls, the cool water reaching up to our ankles and providing welcome relief against the heat of the morning sun.
During this phase, stars radiate that heat, shining brightly like our sun, mostly at optical wavelengths.
