Climate action, Explaining how solar panels work and how they contribute to reducing climate change.

氣候行動，解釋太陽能電池板的工作原理以及它們如何有助於減少氣候變化。

Electricity has become a necessity for human life.

電已成為人類生活的必需品。

We use it to power everything from our homes to our street lights to our jobs.

我們用它來為我們的家庭、路燈和工作提供動力。

Although we need it in order to generate electricity, we end up putting a lot of harmful chemicals into the air through burning fossil fuels.

雖然我們需要它來發電，但通過燃燒化石燃料，我們最終會將大量有害的化學物質排放到空氣中。

Natural gas is in Cole's air, emitting toxic levels of carbon into our atmosphere that contribute to global warming.

天然氣在科爾的空氣中，向我們的大氣中排放有毒的碳，導致全球變暖。

Climate change is a global issue that negatively effects us all.

氣候變化是一個全球性問題，對我們所有人都有負面影響。

It can lead to stronger natural disasters such as droughts and hurricanes.

它可以導致更強的自然災害，如干旱和颶風。

Make the air we breathe deadly and caused the economy to lose millions of dollars.

讓我們呼吸的空氣變得死氣沉沉，造成經濟損失數百萬元。

Not only are they dangerous, but fossil fuels air a limited resource.

不僅危險，而且化石燃料是有限的資源。

Once they're gone, there's no way of getting them back and will be left in the dark.

一旦他們走了，就再也找不回來了，會被矇在鼓裡。

The good news is there's a safer form of energy out there, and that's been supplying as power for us, long as we can remember.

好消息是，有一個更安全的能源形式在那裡， 而這是一直供應作為我們的力量， 只要我們能記住。

To put it simply, this energy comes from the sun.

簡單地說，這種能量來自於太陽。

Specifically, solar panels harness energy from the sun and converts it into electricity in order to power homes and businesses.

具體來說，太陽能電池板利用太陽的能量，並將其轉化為電能，以便為家庭和企業供電。

They do this by exciting electrons in silicon cells, using the photons of light from the sun.

他們通過激發硅電池中的電子，利用太陽光的光子來實現這一目的。

Most of the time, these panels are placed on the roof in order to get us much.

大多數時候，這些面板被放置在屋頂上，以便讓我們多。

Exposure to the sun is possible.

可以在陽光下暴晒。

Solar panels contribute to reducing climate change by reducing air pollution caused by utility companies.

太陽能電池板通過減少公用事業公司造成的空氣汙染，有助於減少氣候變化。

Using solar power creates peak load generating capacity, which saves utilities from using polluting supplemental systems during times when demands for energy are high.

利用太陽能發電可創造高峰負荷發電能力，從而節省了電力公司在能源需求量大的時候使用汙染性的補充系統。

The more solar electric power systems in a general area, the less capacity of utility needs to build.

一般地區的太陽能電力系統越多，公用事業需要建設的容量越少。

This ultimately saves money, creates jobs and gives the area clean green source of energy.

這最終節省了資金，創造了就業機會，並給該地區提供了清潔的綠色能源。

Solar energy is a resource that's been fueling the planet for centuries.

太陽能是一種資源，幾個世紀以來一直在為地球提供燃料。

Now we can use it to power our homes and help keep the planet clean and safe.

現在，我們可以用它來為我們的家庭供電，並幫助保持地球的清潔和安全。
