Green Stream Technology

More sunlight hits the Earth's surface in one hour than is required to power the whole world's energy needs for a year¹.

The source of most of the heat and energy on Earth is the sun. This is provided directly or indirectly in many ways. 

Fossil fuels =  The decomposed remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago. These plants and animals survived as we do today; with plants  using the sun's energy, directly, to grow (photosynthesis) and thereby providing food for organisms higher up in the food chain.
Wind power = Although wind power is considered an alternative energy source in its own right; the bulk movement of air (wind) is caused by heat energy from the sun warming localized regions. This  leads to an increase in kinetic energy and gaseous expansion of those areas. The pressure differences created, give rise to the air circulation we know as wind.
Hydro power = The energy derived from the force generated by moving water. Generally attributed to gravity, but we take for granted the sun's role in transporting water (water cycle), from low altitudes (evaporation from the oceans) to high altitudes as precipitation, enabling its flow.
Human power = The energy derived from human movement. Humans obtain energy from the consumption of plants and animals. Using the sun's energy, plants are able to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose (and oxygen), becoming a source of food (energy) for organisms higher up in the food chain.

The sun emits packets of light, known as photons. A photon from the sun takes around 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
