After solar power, it's time we tried snow power.
Researchers from the Japanese city of Aomori have begun to study methods to create electricity from snow to provide a sustainable energy supply and meet any power shortages.
Aomori is a beautiful city in Japan located 715 km north of Tokyo. Apart from its eye-catching blue pine forests, the city is known for being one of the snowiest places on Earth — receiving about 25 to 26 feet of snow every year.Last year there was so much snow in the city the local authorities had to spend about $46 million just to remove it from the buildings and roads.
The authors claim their snow-based power generation method could reach the same efficiency as that of a solar energy plant and possibly in a much more cost-effective manner. The efficacy of this system also depends on the temperature difference factor.
Hopefully, the tests will be successful and this snow-based power generation method will give rise to a
