California Gives Green Light to Space Solar Power
Energy beamed down from space is one step clor to reality, now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would e the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatts of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016. But some major challenges will have to be overcome if the technology is to be ud widely.
A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites, which it says will u ra
dio 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 geosynchronous orbit. Earth-bad solar cells, by contrast, can only collect sunlight during daytime and when skies are clear.
But space-bad solar power must grapple 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 for power of the Earth, it's a tough go,” he says.
Cal Boerman, Solaren’s director of energy rvices, says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down. “We knew we had to come up with a different, revolutionary design,” he says. A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system's weight, including using inflatable mirrors to focus sunlight on solar cells, so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.
But using mirrors introduces other challenges, including keeping the solar cells from overheating, says Schwartz. “You have to take care of heat dissipation becau you’re no
w concentrating a lot of energy in one place,” he says. According to the company's patent, Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radiators to help keep them cool.
Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-bad solar power work, it is not expecting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy. Laws in California and other states require increasing u of renewable energy in coming years, he points out. “To meet tho needs, we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources,” he says.
16. Solar-power satellites will u radio waves to beam energy down from space.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Solaren is going to design 200 solar-power satellites.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. Space-bad solar cells could collect solar power only when skies are clear.

19. One advantage of space-bad solar power system is that it is economical.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20. Inflatable mirrors are ud to reduce the weight of the space-bad solar power system.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21. 6.Space-bad solar power will rule out other forms of renewable energy source.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
22. Many countries will grant permission for the u of the space-bad solar power system.

校园壁画第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第23-30题，每题1分，共科技文献检索8分）

The Natural Gas
Natural gas is produced from rervoirs deep beneath the earth surface. It’s a fossil fuel, meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of years ago. The main component of natural gas is methane.
The popularity and u of clean natural gas has incread dramatically over the past 50 years as pipeline infrastructure has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential, commercial and industrial customers world wide. Today, natural gas rvice is available in all 50 states in the U.S. and is the leading energy choice for fueling American homes and industries. More than 65 million American homes u natural gas. In fact, natural gas is the most economical source for home energy needs, costing one third as much as electricity. In addition to heating homes, much of the gas ud in the U.S. is ud as a raw material to manufacture a wild variety of products, from paint, to fibers for clothing, to plastics for healthcare, computing and fur
nishings. Natural gas is also ud in a significant number of new electricity-generating power plants.
Natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest fuels available. It emits less pollution than other fossil fuel sources. When natural gas is burned, it produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor—the same substances emitted when humans breathe. Compared with some other fossil fuels, natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted—making natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel of all.
The U.S. consumes about one third of the world’s natural gas output, making it the largest gas-consuming region in the world. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration forecasts that natural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025.
There are huge rerves of natural gas beneath the earth’s surface. The largest rerves of natural gas can be formed in Russia, West and North Africa and the Middle East. LNG has been produced domestically and imported in the U.S. for more than four decades. Today, the leading importers of LNG are Japan, Korea, France and Spain.
