yes it is used world wide
There are many large thermal power plants throughout the world. The top ten largest that utilize coal, for example, include China's Tuoketuo, Guodian Beilun, Waigaoqiao, Guohoa Taishan, Jiaxing, Yingkou, and Shengtou plants, Taiwan's Taichung, Poland's Belchatow, and Indonesia's Paiton.
alot is used
7.86% of the entire world uses solar power that has been created by solar panels...........only 0.093% of the world actually owns solar panels......
depends which place in the world is directly facing the sun for it is solar power.
If all the uranium, coal, oil and natural gas in the world ran out tomorrow, we would have to use electricity from: the remaining power stations: * Hydro-electric (dams, rivers, tides and ocean waves) * Wind (wind turbines and wind mills) * Solar (Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power plants) * Geothermal (using heat from deep under the ground) * Biomass (burning recently grown vegetation to produce electricity)
A very small percentage so far, 0.05%. However, scientists and the public are looking to have more of the world's energy come from solar power plants."Solar power...would represent the annual output from 150 coal-fired power plants" by 2025, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace said. The report said photovoltaic systems, which turn sunlight into power, now generate 0.05 percent of world electricity and could rise to 2.5 percent in 2025, the main horizon for the report, and then leap to 16 percent in 2040.Not many people know this, but solar, wind, and electricity only account for less than 1% of the worlds energy combined.
Germany is most likely ahead of the rest of the world with investment in the solar energy field. That being said, though, I have researched a number of solar energy plants that are in the United States. There is a large one in California which is visually a large expanse of land covered with solar paneling.

No. Geothermal energy plants can only be built at or near thermal vents.
solar power is environmentally friendly power. the more it is used the less pollutants enter the world. the more healthier our lifestyles become.
America
The best world places for solar power include:Northern AustraliaAfricaMiddle EastSouth East of North AmericaThe biggest users of solar power includeNorth AmericaGermanySpainJapanItaly
