Because of the energy crisis(危机), scientists in the oil-consuming nations(石油消费国) have become increasingly interested in the potential(潜能) of solar energy. Some experts think that the present supply of fuel(燃料) will not last until the middle of the next century. The problem that solar energy researchers face is how to make use of the sun's energy effectively and inexpensively. One of the most popular methods being tested at present uses roof-top solar collectors and underground storage tanks(罐). An advantage of properly working system of this type is that it will not create any environmental pollution. Another advantage of using solar energy is that the cost of the fuel, the sun's rays, is zero.
