With the current state of our economies and also global warming, we ALL need to do whatever we can to help conserve our resources.  I am referring to finances, food and energy resources.  I am writing about alternative energy sources we can use.   

 The alternative energy I am discussing today is Solar Energy.  Solar Energy ( energy from the Sun) is one the most resourceful sources of energy for the future.  One of the reasons for this is that the total energy we receive each year from the sun is around 35,000 times the total energy used by man. In these tough economic times, it is very important that we discover different ways to save money.   Green power is energy that comes from renewable energy sources such as wind, water, or the sun.  Green power can save us money.   Solar energy is presently being used on a small scale in furnaces for homes and to heat up swimming pools. On a larger scale, solar energy could be used to run cars, power plants, and space ships.  Home Solar Panels are increasingly being used as a source of backup power in case of a blackout or other emergency.  You can substantially reduce your home energy costs and even put some money back into your pocket by supplementing your existing power sources with a home solar panel.  Use of this alternative ( green energy)  reduces the amount of natural gas used and thus emissions expelled.  This in the long run will help us to be less dependent on oil sources from other countries.  Sustainable energy , is the provision of energy such that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.  Unlike fossil fuels and energy produced with materials that have limited supply, green power is produced with resources that are not depleted by using them.   Home Solar Panels are increasingly being used as a source of backup power in case of a blackout or other emergency.  You can substantially reduce your home energy costs and even put some money back into your pocket by supplementing your existing power sources with a home solar panel.  In addition to the cost benefits of solar usage, you also benefit from a cleaner environment.  While everyone cries and whines about gas prices and high energy costs – you will have an unlimited supply of solar power.
