Can climate change be reversed? That is the question that could save our planet. My solution to the problem is solar power/ solar energy. Solar energy is a technology that is currently available around the world. If you are not familiar with how solar power works, first sunlight of a certain wavelength penetrates a solar cell. The solar cell then takes the electrons from the atoms in the sunlight and coverts them into usable electricity. One of the advantages of solar power is the lack of Co2 emitted into the atmosphere. They can also double as roofs so that the solar panels don't have to take up extra space. Although solar panels have many advantages though, they also have some disadvantages. While oil, coal, etc. can run in almost any condition solar power can only run at its peak efficiency on sunny days, but even though they can only run on certain days the STILL save the environment.
