The document discusses different energy sources including solar energy and natural gas. It provides information about solar photovoltaic technologies like concentrated solar and photovoltaic cells. Natural gas comes from gas-rich shale and conventional gas pockets. The Barnett and Marcellus shale are located in Pennsylvania and Texas. While solar panels and natural gas provide benefits as energy sources, solar cells have limitations in efficiency due to only receiving certain light wavelengths.
