Before we rack the balls, however, let’s take a closer look at the high-energy electron. Early atomic scientists named this type of radiation “beta particles” before they determined that it was only high-energy electrons. The name stuck. As subatomic particles go, the electron has relatively low mass, but it carries a full negative electric charge. Remember the little black and white Scottie terrier magnets from your childhood?

Near the beginning of the twentieth century, physicists developed a picture of energy as waves moving through something they called the “ether” – try to envision waves moving across a pond of water. Much of what they observed about the behavior of light and other forms of energy could be explained using this analogy.

The only significant exception to solar-generated electricity is energy derived by releasing the binding energy of atoms, either as fission when we split heavy atoms like uranium, or as fusion when we combine light atoms like hydrogen. We are expert at the first, but we haven’t quite figured out how to accomplish the second.

Humans have captured this energy in different ways for millennia. The ancient Egyptians placed crude paddlewheels in flowing water and used this power to grind wheat into flour and for other purposes. An obvious improvement to this method is to dam a stream to generate a more powerful flow of water that can turn a larger mill or drive a faster machine.

Solar energy plays two direct roles: it evaporates water and, by warming the atmosphere, increases its ability to carry more water vapor. Solar energy also plays a significant indirect role.

Only two sources of electricity are available to humans at this stage of our development: solar and atomic.
