California Gives Green Light to Space Solar Power
Energy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality，now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatt (兆瓦)of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in some major chal lenges will have to be overcomed if the technology is to be used widely.
A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites，which it says will use radio waves to beam energy down to a receiving station on Earth.
The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in eosynchronous(與地球同步的)h-based solar cells，by contrast，can only collect sun.
Light during daytime and when skies are clear.
But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服)with the high cost per kilogram of launching things into space，says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette，Indiana， "If you're talking about it being economically viable or power of the Earth，it's a tough go."he says.
Cal Boerman，Solaren's director of energy services，says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down."We knew we had to come up with a different，revolu-tionary design，"he says.A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system'Sweight，including using inflatable minors to focus sunlight on solar cells，so a smaller number cancollect the same amount of energy.
But using minors introduces other chaHenges，including keeping the solar cells from overhea-ting，says Schwartz."You have to take care of heat dissipation(散發)because you're now concen-trating a lot of energy in one place，"he rding to the company's patent，Solaren's solarcells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool.
Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-based solar power work，it is notexpecting to crowd out other forms of renewable in California and other states requireincreasing use of renewable energy in coming years，he points out."To meet those needs，we're go-ing to need all types of renewable energy sources，"he says.

Natural Gas
1 Natural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth's is a fossil fuel
(礦物質燃料)，meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of main component of natural gas is methane(甲烷).
2 The popularity and use of clean natural gas has increased dramatically over the past 50 years as pipeline infrastructure(基礎設施)has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential，commercial and industrial customers y，natural gas serviceis available in all 50 states in the U.S.，and is the leading energy choice for fueling Americanhomes and idustries。More than 65 million American homes use natural fact，natural gas isthe most economical source for home energy needs，costing one-third as much as addi-tion to heating homes，much of the gas used in the United States is used as a raw material to manu-facture a wide variety of products，from paint，to fibers for clothing，to plastics for heahhcare，con-puting and ral gas is also used in a significant number of new electricity-generating power plants.
3 Natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest fuels emits less pollution than oth-er fossil fuel natural gas is burned，it produces mostly carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and water vapor-the same substances emitted when humans ared with some other fos-sil fuels，natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted(燃燒)， making natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel of a11.
4 The United States consumes about one-third of the world'S natural gas output，making it the largest gas-consuming region in the rtment of Energy'S Energy Information Ad-ministration forecasts that natural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025.
5 There are huge reserves of natural gas beneath the earth's largest reserves of natural gas can be found in Russia，West and North Africa and the Middle (液化天然氣)has been produced domestically and imported in the United States for more than four decades.
Today，the leading importes of LNG are Japan，Korea，France and Spain.
