Here’s an electrifying fact from the world of energy: the word “energy” comes from the Greek “energeia,” coined by Aristotle around 384 BC. It didn’t mean electricity or fuel—it described a “state of being at work.” So in a way, energy has always been about action and potential, long before we wired up the world.

And here’s a modern twist: just 60 minutes of sunlight hitting Earth delivers enough energy to power the planet for an entire year—if we could harness it all. That’s the kind of stat that makes solar panels feel like magic waiting to happen.
