An Innovative Breakthrough in Solar Panel Design
Thanks to researchers at Princeton University, high costs of solar panels may no longer be an issue. Going green and harnessing the power of the sun might be easily affordable to anyone who wishes to participate in making the world a cleaner place.
The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff reveals eye-opening statistics. While I don’t agree that the cause of the decline of happiness in the US was simply an increase of materialism (it was more broadly the increase of the use of psychiatry), and I don’t agree with the implications that health care is such an issue in the US (it is not, this is socialist propaganda being used to try to implement destruction socialist practices as are in use in Europe) I do agree that the statistics presented are alarming.

Climate Change – Can We Solve It?

But it’s indicative of temperature rises that will occur in our lifetime, and in the next generation.
Hawaii Homeowner Saves Thousands with Solar Power
In September 2008, my power bill was $625.79. When I opened the bill I just about blew a gasket, and out of pure frustration I began thinking about how to reduce this massive monthly payment. I changed out all the light bulbs to CFL. I went from three computer monitors to two. I lowered the temperature on the water heater by about 20 degrees. But those steps were nothing compared to what I found available right on my roof.
Solar Power – A Social History
